Hello All,
I just bought my first pair of reference monitors for my humble home-studio. They're the M-Audio BX5. Of course, the main reason why I bought them is for mixing and mastering my music projects and so far I they have been acting very well.
However, there's a problem when I listen to my music library on iTunes through these monitors, as the sometimes the music tends to clip, even when my iTunes equalizer is set to flat.
Is it normal that reference monitors have a tendency to clip when using them just for listening to music?
Edit: I've noticed that the clipping sound usually occurs during vocal parts, it is exceptionally audible on Amy Winehouse songs from "Back to Black". Also, could it maybe be because the monitors are new and that they have to break-in or so?
Thanks for the help!
Have a good day everyone!
