Just today I read on an internet forum a post by a "hot" new manufacturer of class D amplifiers saying that "the only way to solve the interference problem is to put the amplifier in a completely ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are few inventions that have been as crucial to the evolution of pop and rock music as the guitar amplifier. Indeed, many cite the 1951 Sun Records recording session of Jackie Brenston and his ...

If you didn’t know better, you might think the phrase “class A amplifier” was a marketing term to help sell amplifiers. But it is, of course, actually a technical description of an amplifier that ...

All operational amplifier (op-amp) datasheets have an input voltage range limitation called the common-mode range. Strictly speaking, the common-mode voltage is the average voltage on the two inputs ...

Guitar amplifiers have been evolving since the early 20th century and the Jazz Age when stringed instruments demanded extra volume to compete with brass sections and prominent drums. Many amplifier ...
