Clip detection is a convenient feature in Class AB amplifiers. It produces a signal from a clip-detection pin that drives an automatic volume control, which reduces gain compression and distortion ...

If you have read an amplifier review or looked at the specifications for an amp, the chances are that you have come across a term such as 'Class A/B'. In fact, this is just one of a number of ...

Hang around in any of the many guitar or audiophile forums or discussion boards for long enough, and eventually you’ll come across the arguments over amplifier topologies. One of the more interesting ...

A class-D puts out a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal instead of the linear signal that is typical in class-AB amplifiers. The PWM signal contains the audio signal and the PWM switching frequency ...

This article was originally published in the Dec 14, 1998 issue of Electronic Design. Class-D audio power amplifiers (APAs) were first introduced nearly 50 years ago. Since then, they have been used ...

Most audiophiles and enthusiasts have grown up with at least a basic understanding of what an amplifier does. It takes a tiny alternating electrical signal that represents the moment-to-moment ...

The efficiency and size advantages of Class D audio amplification in battery- powered devices are well known. These advantages are now extended to amplifiers up to 500W, made possible by solidstate ...

At $2,199, the TEAC AP-507 power amplifier can be configured for two channel stereo, bi-amp, or bridged. The TEAC AP-507 is primarily designed to be a companion to the above-mentioned previously ...

Just today I read on an internet forum a post by a "hot" new manufacturer of class D amplifiers saying that "the only way to solve the interference problem is to put the amplifier in a completely ...

Dublin, Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Class D Audio Amplifiers - Global Strategic Business Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global market for Class D ...

Class D amps are simple – just take an input, and use that to modulate a square wave with PWM. Send this PWM signal to a MOSFET or something, and you have the simplest class D amp in existence.
