This audio amplifier circuit delivers up to 200 W of top-class quality for loudspeaker from 4 to 16 ohm. Operating voltage is between 24 and 36 V, max 5 A. The frequency response is from 20 to 20000 ...

The most recent installment of [Dino Segovis’] Hack a Week covers the construction of a simple NPN transistor audio preamp. Some time ago, he built a small audio amplifier using an LM386 which worked ...

Researchers from the University of California – Riverside and Rice University have made the first single-transistor amplifier from graphene. The device is better than conventional amplifiers thanks to ...

Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

Two of the most often used amplifier building blocks in audio amplifier design are the common emitter amplifier with emitter degeneration and the emitter follower using the same circuit biasing. The ...

As we’ve traced our no-nonsense path through the world of Hi-Fi audio, we’ve started with the listener, understood the limitations of the human ear, and thence proceeded to the loudspeaker. We’ve ...

It may not be to everyone's taste, but this brand new monobloc amplifier from McIntosh cleverly blends both vacuum tube and solid-state technology in one chassis. If you’re not a serious audiophile ...

There appears to be 16 large transisitors which were mounted to the heatsink of this amplifier. It is a Planet Audio 4 channel car audio amp. From some quick Google searching, it looks like I should ...

A relatively new technology called the pure digital or Class-D amplifier has been introduced into the audio world. The Class-D architecture allows the input audio signal to stay in its digital format ...

IN THE AGE OFwireless speakers and Bluetooth streaming, vacuum-tube amplifiers may seem antiquated, but you don’t have to be an audio nerd to appreciate their appeal. Designed to power traditional ...
