Sound is affected by distortion or clipping. Why?

If the volume level is too high, the sound may be affected by distortion or clipping.
Play a track and follow these steps:

1. Check the channel level indicator on the DJM-S11.
Adjust the level with the [TRIM] knob so the channel level indicator lights up around [0] dB (so the red doesn't light up) at the loudest part of the track.
2. Check the master level indicator on the DJM-S11.
With the channel fader at the top, adjust the level with the [MASTER LEVEL] knob so the master level indicator lights up around [0] dB (so the red doesn't light up) at the loudest part of the track.

If the distortion and sound clipping doesn’t improve, the output level might exceed the allowed input level of the connected speakers or amplifier.
In this case, you'll need to lower the output level using [MASTER OUT ATT] in the Utility settings.
For details, see [Settings] > [Utility settings] in the Instruction Manual.
