Mullard Circuits for Audio Amplifiers is a famous book by the Technical Services Department of Mullard Ltd, a British valve manufacturing company. First published in 1959 and then reprinted several times it contained a number of designs by Mullard engineers for high quality audio amplifiers, which were to be used by amateur constructors as well as by manufacturers as the basis for many ...
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.
Instrument amplifiers often include compression circuitry to prevent sudden high-wattage peaks that could damage the speakers. Electric bass players often use compression effects, either effects units available in pedal, rackmount units, or built-in devices in bass amps, to even out the sound levels of their basslines.
This factor multiplies the sampling interval or, equivalently, divides the sampling rate. For example, if compact disc audio at 44,100 samples/second is decimated by a factor of 5/4, the resulting sample rate is 35,280. A system component that performs decimation is called a decimator.
Audio stereo power amplifier made by McIntosh The internal view of a Mission Cyrus 1 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.
Some two channel amplifiers, or stereo amplifiers, have the built in facility to operate in bridge mode by operating a switch and observing the input and output connections detailed on the back panel or in the manual. This option is most often found in high power PA equipment or amplifiers designed for car audio applications.
Schematic of an AGC used in the analog telephone network; the feedback from output level to gain is effected via a Vactrol resistive opto-isolator.. Automatic gain control (AGC) is a closed-loop feedback regulating circuit in an amplifier or chain of amplifiers, the purpose of which is to maintain a suitable signal amplitude at its output, despite variation of the signal amplitude at the input.
Audio power is the electrical power transferred from an audio amplifier to a loudspeaker, measured in watts.The electrical power delivered to the loudspeaker, together with its efficiency, determines the sound power generated (with the rest of the electrical power being converted to heat).
