The Roland Micro Cube, left, a small and portable digital modeling amplifier. Digital amp modelers Standalone modeling devices such as the Line 6 POD and Fractal Axe-FX digitize the input signal and use a DSP, a dedicated microprocessor, to process the signal with digital computation, attempting to achieve the sound of expensive professional amplifiers in a much less costly and more compact ...
Audison is one of the brands of the Italian company Elettromedia s.r.l., a manufacturer of car audio products. The company was founded in 1979, but Audison name (born from Latin words Audio and Sonus) was registered in 1984. Currently Audison has different kinds of mobile audio products: amplifiers, audio processors, speakers and subwoofers.
Many electric guitar players intentionally overdrive their amplifiers (or insert a "fuzz box") to cause clipping in order to get a desired sound (see guitar distortion).. Some audiophiles believe that the clipping behavior of vacuum tubes with little or no negative feedback is superior to that of transistors, in that vacuum tubes clip more gradually than transistors (i.e. soft clipping, and ...

Earth Sound Research specialized in electric bass and guitar amplifiers in the 1970s. [3] They also manufactured PA mixers, power amps, [4] and stand alone solid state reverb units. The company also manufactured ESR brand distortion pedals such as the Graphic Fuzz which was based somewhat on a Craig Anderton fuzz and volume pedal. [1]
Audio stereo power amplifier made by McIntosh The internal view of a Mission Cyrus One hi-fi integrated audio amplifier (1984) [1]. An audio power amplifier (or power amp) amplifies low-power electronic audio signals, such as the signal from a radio receiver or an electric guitar pickup, to a level that is high enough for driving loudspeakers or headphones.
The ASP was a SGS-Thomson ST18932 DSP core with 16K of program RAM and 8K of data RAM. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The Sound Blaster 16 also featured the then widely used TEA2025 amplifier IC ( integrated circuit ) which, in the configuration Creative had chosen, would allow approximately 700 milliwatts per channel when used with a standard pair of ...
An analog audio signal is a continuous signal represented by an electrical voltage or current that is analogous to the sound waves in the air. Analog signal processing then involves physically altering the continuous signal by changing the voltage or current or charge via electrical circuits.
