Different classes of amplifiers. What are the benefits of class AB amplifiers? Patents that address the quiescent current of class AB amps. Amplifiers have many classifications, and each class has its ...

Editor's note: this is the final installment in this series. Part one is available at http://www.audiodesignline.com/howto/199202502 At 15 dB to 12 dB even very dense ...

The most common audio power amplifier operates in the Class-AB mode. It provides the greatest amount of output power with the least amount of distortion. The downside is that it consumes quite a bit ...

Buckeye Amps is a fresh face in the market, owned by Dylan Launder, who has been passionate about home theater systems since 2009. Like many enthusiasts, Dylan would frequently modify or upgrade his ...

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 ...

Technology has democratized the music industry in many obvious ways – notice how every band, regardless of stature, has a MySpace page? But one of technology's more subtle effects has been to make our ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dissipation consists mainly of resistive losses, (Output Current) 2 * R. Figure 3 illustrates the efficiency of the sinewave input and also shows the distortion of the output signal. That distortion ...
