Abstract: This paper presents an alternative solution for higher frequency power amplifier design. Using a plastic-packaged GaN transistor and high-efficiency design techniques, a power amplifier for ...

Abstract: This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the sensitivity of different switched-capacitor amplifier circuits to Single Event Transients (SETs). SETs are temporary variations in ...

If you’re planning to add a separate subwoofer, an amplifier is almost a necessity to power it. In this article, we’ll take a look at five popular car audio brands that offer quality ...

You can cover amplification by connecting sources straight into active speakers, which have amplifiers built into the cabinets, or by opting for a pre/power amplifier pairing where the necessary ...

Glasgow University researchers have led work that could lead to a new generation of diamond-based transistors for use in high-power electronics. The team has found a new way to use diamond as the ...

Since then, Austrian Audio has carefully built a surprisingly diverse range of products from microphones and headphones to studio-orientated software. Then there is the Full Score One headphone ...

The Rotel A8 is a stereo “integrated amplifier.” This term is, admittedly, a bit ambiguous today, meaning different things to different people. More traditional hi-fi enthusiasts will tell you an ...

When you hear about a switching power supply, you think of a system that uses an inductor and a switch to redistribute energy from the input to the output. But the original switching power supply ...

For players looking to make their rigs smaller, lighter and more portable, the best pedal amps are somewhat of a godsend. Pedal amps aim to deliver the sound, feel and response of (usually) a tube amp ...

To the untrained eye, an AV receiver may just look like a big black box that a bunch of TV and speaker wires run in and out of. Far more than a junction box for your go-to components like ...

There are reed, digital and Clav instruments, while hands-on effects include tremolo, an amp sim, MFX processing and the intriguing Sound Lift Knob, which is designed to help you cut through in a ...
