1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an input module configured to receive an audio signal;
a clipping module configured to clip the audio signal; and
a control module configured to allow a user to control a clipping threshold, wherein the clipping module is configured to clip the audio signal based on the clipping threshold, the clipping threshold is a voltage level corresponding with an amplitude level of the audio signal and the clipping threshold is a variable clipping threshold configurable by the user to correspond with multiple amplitude levels of the audio signal.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide distortion control techniques and configurations. An apparatus includes an input module configured to receive an audio signal, a clipping module configured to clip the audio signal and a control module configured to allow a user to control a clipping threshold. The clipping module is configured to clip the audio signal based on the clipping threshold. The clipping threshold is a voltage level corresponding with an amplitude level of the audio signal and the clipping threshold is a variable clipping threshold configurable by the user to correspond with multiple amplitude levels of the audio signal. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
