Oh and another question. I read this somewhere (and I've never read it anywhere else...in other words I don't think I agree with it) - "An amplifier doesnt give max power all the time except for when ...

A little of the old, a little of the new—here's a quick brushup on amplifier lore. Amplifiers are fundamental circuit-design elements. They drive everything from earbuds to antennas. Placed ahead of ...

Most everyone that has ever purchased an external amplifier is at least familiar with the term voltage gain. Simply, it is the degree to which an amplifier actually ...

Hang around in any of the many guitar or audiophile forums or discussion boards for long enough, and eventually you’ll come across the arguments over amplifier topologies. One of the more interesting ...

Analog amplifiers are cataloged by how much current flows during each wave cycle. Measured in degrees, 360º means current flows 100% of the time. The more current, the more inefficient and the more ...

Because pulse modulation output signals are either on or off, Class D amplifiers produce far less heat than analog amplifiers. Reaching efficiencies greater than 90% compared to only 50% for analog, ...

at the top of this picture. Each board is two channels. An audio amplifier can boost the small incoming audio signal’s voltage by increasing its voltage, and current. The degree to which the amplifier ...
