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.

An amplifier may have an asymmetrical output swing [b] and clipping may begin earlier on one half of the output waveform. In audio amplifiers using unregulated linear power supplies, if the filter capacitor is not large enough, it is possible for ripple voltage to cause clipping that also contains some AC line frequency harmonics.
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.
Tube sound (or valve sound) is the characteristic sound associated with a vacuum tube amplifier (valve amplifier in British English), a vacuum tube-based audio amplifier. [1] At first, the concept of tube sound did not exist, because practically all electronic amplification of audio signals was done with vacuum tubes and other comparable ...
A valve audio amplifier or vacuum tube audio amplifier is a valve amplifier used for sound reinforcement, sound recording and reproduction. Until the invention of solid state devices such as the transistor , all electronic amplification was produced by valve (tube) amplifiers.
