Audio Power Amplifier - Design Parameters

Design Parameters

Key design parameters for audio power amplifiers are frequency response, gain, noise, and distortion. These are interdependent; increasing gain often leads to undesirable increases in noise and distortion. While negative feedback actually reduces the gain, it also reduces distortion. Most audio amplifiers are linear amplifiers operating in class AB.

    “Westerners inherit
    A design for living
    Deeper into matter—
    Not without due patter
    Of a great misgiving.”
