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 ...

Samsung’s 2025 Q-series soundbars, including the HW-Q990F and HW-QS700F, feature AI Sound Optimisation, Dynamic Bass Control, and Active Voice Amplifier Pro for enhanced audio. They include a ...

One of my first jobs as an engineer was at Empire Scientific Corp. in Garden City, NY in 1972. This was a high-end audio company that made speakers, turntables and phonograph cartridges. We had some ...

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 ...

A relatively new technology called the pure digital or Class-D amplifier has been introduced into the audio world. The Class-D architecture allows the input audio signal to stay in its digital format ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

(Image courtesy of Getty Images). Every generation of audio amplifier is designed to pump out louder and clearer sounds. They are also tapped to consume less power and better protect against failures ...

Burson is also using a transistor-based amplification stage built around four Onsemi MJE15032 transistors per channel. Those ...

It was a cold January Saturday night in Chicago and we had big plans. Buddy Guy’s Legends bar was packed. We setup directly under one of the PA speakers less than 15′ from the stage. Time to celebrate ...
