The almost universal choice in semiconductor power amplifiers is for a unity gain output stage, and specifically a voltage follower. Output stages with gain are not unknown, 1 but they are not common.

Distortion. Present in every electro-mechanical-acoustical transducer ever built, yet infrequently does one find information (let alone useful information) that describe the type and degree of ...

Given all the foregoing research presented in various academic, scientific & industry journals, as well as other media, variously indicating the audibility of phase distortion, there remains no valid ...

There are two salient facts about Class A amplifiers: they are inefficient; they give the best possible distortion performance. The quiescent dissipation of the classic Class A amplifier is equal to ...

Distortion comes in a huge range of slightly different forms, from subtle analogue warmth to extreme metal fuzz, mild digital imprecision to eardrum-bursting clipping. But what is distortion, what's ...

There’s nothing quite like stepping on a pedal and hearing the gritty growl of heavy distortion. Deforming your guitar signal to the point that it screams back at you is incredibly satisfying so ...
