We’ve previously remarked upon a generation lucky enough to be well-versed in microcontrollers and computersised electronics through being brought up on the Arduino or the Raspberry Pi but unlucky ...

Someone brought a dead Marantz amplifier to [Lansing]’s attention, a rather nice model from the 1980s with one channel entirely dead and the other very quiet. His account of its repair is ...

ThermalTrak integrates power output transistors with thermal bias diode. One of the major design concerns in the output section of a typical class AB audio amplifier is output bias and stability over ...

Provided with features such as a built-in drivers and temperature compensation diodes, STD Series 160-W Darlington transistors are designed exclusively for audio amplifier applications. The ...

It may not be to everyone's taste, but this brand new monobloc amplifier from McIntosh cleverly blends both vacuum tube and solid-state technology in one chassis. If you’re not a serious audiophile ...

There appears to be 16 large transisitors which were mounted to the heatsink of this amplifier. It is a Planet Audio 4 channel car audio amp. From some quick Google searching, it looks like I should ...

Emerging as the industry's highest voltage bipolar transistors designed for audio amplifier output stages, the MJL4281A (NPN) and MJL4302A (PNP) 15A, 230W power transistors specify a sustained ...

Prior to Bell Labs’ first working transistor in 1947, which ushered in the advent of semiconductor technology and the computer age, every long-distance telephone call, radio and television broadcast, ...

Different classes of amplifiers. What are the benefits of class AB amplifiers? Patents that address the quiescent current of class AB amps. Amplifiers have many classifications, and each class has its ...

IN THE AGE OFwireless speakers and Bluetooth streaming, vacuum-tube amplifiers may seem antiquated, but you don’t have to be an audio nerd to appreciate their appeal. Designed to power traditional ...
