In digital audio the absolute highest permissible audio level. Exceeding it causes severe clipping, a nasty kind of distortion. Instances where the signal goes into digital clipping are called >overs.
“In the studio, you just have to move the mic until you find the right place. The only complicated thing, obviously, is how you perceive sound...”- Leon Redbone
