Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has also worked as a high-end audio salesman, and as a record producer. Steve reviewed audio products for CNET and worked as a freelance writer for ...

CMOS amplifier design remains a critical focus in modern electronic research, particularly with the growing demand for low power consumption and high performance in integrated circuits. Central to ...

We uncovered an audio myth on our YouTube channel I didn’t even know was being perpetuated by some esoteric amplifier companies. Apparently there is a belief that designing an amplifier to be too ...

The x1 voltage amplifier or “buffer” is a standard building block of analog design. This article presents the design of a discrete, low-parts-count, high-performance, matched-transistor buffer, and ...

If you ever wanted to build your own tube amplifier but you were intimidated by working with high voltages, [Marcel]’s low-voltage tube amp design might spark your interest. The design operates with a ...

The literature on power amplifiers frequently discusses the importance of power-supply rejection in audio amplifiers, particularly in reference to its possible effects on distortion [4]! I have (I ...

Accurately measuring current flow is a standard requirement in several applications (Fig. 1). Depending on the specific need, the options available to designers can include discrete designs assembled ...

Join [Jørgen Kragh Jakobsen], Analog/digital Design Engineer at Merus-Audio, for this week’s Hack Chat. Every week, we find a few interesting people making the things that make the things that make ...

A design for a new broad-bandwidth amplifier for detecting single microwave photons has been unveiled by physicists at the University of California, Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National ...

After 40 years of creating audio equipment, the last thing that Kostas Metaxas wanted to produce was “another box with transistors on a heatsink”. He was dreaming of the most spectacular architecture, ...

Members can download the PDF ebook. After I wrote up that amplifier scheme (see “What’s All This Bridge Amplifier Stuff, Anyhow?”), I was thinking about how to get better common-mode (CM) range. That ...

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 ...
