Figure 1: A simple single-ended Class-A amplifier.In the beginning was the single-ended Class-A amplifier, as shown in Figure 1. I've simplified the schematic to show only the output device, which is where the differences between the classes are defined. In a simple amplifier like this, ...
Class D amplifiers, first proposed in 1958, have become increasingly popular in recent years. What are Class D amplifiers? How do they compare with other kinds of amplifiers? Why is Class D of interest for audio? What is needed to make a “good” audio Class D amplifier? What are the ...
What does distortion mean in a musical context? How should you use distortion as a creative effect in your DAW? Find out in this article, and follow along with audio examples.

Effect of other devices on the user device Types of Electromagnetic Susceptibility (EMS) Conducted immunity In the conducted immunity test, the disturbance in cable or power supply is created by an RF amplifier, and the device’s function should not be affected by that distortion or interference ...
The relay amplifier measures this resistance and sends a signal to turn the dehumidifier on or off. These basic components add up to a device that may make your home feel a whole lot better. Now that you know the basics of dehumidifier technology, it's time to learn about different kinds...
When clipping occurs, instead of a smooth sine wave being produced as with normal audio, a squared-off and "clipped" waveform is produced by the amplifier, resulting in sound distortion. Similarly, in digital audio, there's a limit as to how far an input sound can be represented. If the...
How good is the motion handling (which is a fancy way of saying do movements look natural and free of the dreaded Soap Opera Effect)? Is the picture vibrant and enticing? Is the HDR performance up to scratch in all the common standards, such as HDR10+, Dolby Vision and HLG? Are ...
These load cell sensors are used in applications that require high endurance, high fatigue life, or high-capacity in-line measurements, such as press-fit force applications. They are also highly resistant to off-axis loading. For most capacities, the Universal Pancake Load Cell is designed with...
Fine tuning in the Vocoder internal amplifier levels Persistency: New Auto-Save/Restore feature which temporary saves (and later restores) your work when G-Stomper goes to the background, e.g. when pressing the home button or when getting a phone call during a jam session ...
