This project was a sort of challenge: designing an audio amplifier capable of delivering a decent output power with a minimum parts count, without sacrificing quality. The Power Amplifier section ...

If you know anything about a transistor, it’s probably that it’s a three terminal device whose output pin forms part of a potential divider whose state is dependent on what is presented to its input ...

Class A devices feature a design in which the output stage passes current at all times, even when the input stage is idle. Class B devices do not pass current when the output device is idle. Class AB ...

1. Is Amplifier Weight an Indicator of Robust Amplifier Design? You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before you can generalize about weight ...

Learn how power amplifiers work, the common types, and what to lookout for when shopping for amps. You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before ...

Power amplifiers deliver a specific amount of AC power to a load. They are used in audio frequency and radio frequency applications. An RF power amplifier is used to amplify radio frequency (RF) ...

Love Class A amplification but hate the heat associated with it? The Infigo Audio Method 6 offers a very different take. There are many ways to eat your Smarties and Infigo Audio believes that it has ...

Specifying the power supply requirements for audio amplifiers can be tricky. If the power supply is overdesigned it will add unnecessary cost to the product, and if it supply is underdesigned the ...

Cambridge Audio has added to its half-width design MX series with the launch of the compact MXW70 power amplifier. According to Cambridge, the MXW70 is designed for a high-fidelity performance without ...

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 ...

When you're doing PA work at a live house or studio, there's a moment that's quite unpleasant. That is, when the red "CLIP" ...
