Part 1 looks at driving high-performance, high-speed ADCs, and benefits to using an input transformer in a differential inverting amplifier design Part 2 looks at adding an interstage filter between ...
The sources of noise in a signal chain can be either internal or external. Managing noise in the signal chain requires meticulous examination of each circuit in the chain to minimize noise where ...
Adding small or even large amounts of saturation doesn’t have to be bad for you, as we explore how to singe your sonics ...
While many op amps can claim either low noise or low distortion, the AD8099 high-speed op amp promises both. It specifies a voltage noise of 0.95 nV/vHz and a distortion of -90 dB at 10 MHz. Analog ...
We all know what distortion sounds like. We’ve heard it in heavy metal tunes, cheap iPod docks and the crummy speakers at Taco Bell drive-thrus. And we’ve all read distortion specs on things like ...
A critical measure for all audio components is distortion, typically specified as total harmonic distortion (THD) or total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N). THD is defined as: ... THD+N is the rms ...
While some ambient recordings might sit perfectly within your track as is, more often than not, a little processing will help them work well within your mix. Here are some standard approaches, making ...
Several readers report poor sound quality from the MacBook Pro's speakers. In particular, some readers are reporting that the right speaker outputs distorted or otherwise poor quality audio while the ...
