Thank you for the reply! Everything on my mixer is below 0db, and my amp doesn’t have db markings, so I’m assuming the 12o’clock position is 0db (either way, the amp isn’t clipping). On the powered speakers that were distorted, the input was turned up 1-2 degrees (not even close to 0db) and the main volume control was set the same way. I had to turn my mixer way down for the American Audio speakers to stop distorting, but at that point the volume was too low on my passive speakers.
Even if I connect to the powered speakers without the mixer, the laptop has to be turned way down to keep from distorting. I’ll try setting the left channel to my passive speakers, and the right channel to my powered speakers and see if that fixes the issue (that way I have more accurate control of the volume level, I was previously using a monitor output, which was also unbalanced)
