Active Load in Gain Stage - Instead of a resistor at the transistor's collector,
you might have seen a current source (active component) substituted in an audio amp's
gain stage. Why go through the trouble of the added components? You'll find the active
loading of a current source packs ...(spice design added 02/09) |

Advanced Audio Amplifier - This is roughly the minimum number of components that
represents the classic audio amplifier topology. You can clearly see the three stages
found in many audio amps (and op amps today). However, looking at actual audio
designs, you'll find the basic topology has been tweaked and enhanced in a few key
locations....(spice design added 02/09) |

All About Audio Amplifiers - Amplifiers would be nothing without tone controls.
They allow us to boost or cut the low and high ends of the audio spectrum. Nobody
would buy an amplifier or preamp that did not have them. Because these controls are so
important designers spend a lot of time and effort on these circuits.....(circuit

All-Triode Direct-Drive Tube Amps for Electrostatic and Electret Headphones - Two
electrostatic headphone driver designs: the second is DC-coupled and uses high voltage
Apex op-amps as DC regulators. They will drive Stax and Sennheiser electrostatic
phones, and the author includes directions for adapting the designs to other models.
These are "the best electrostatic headphone amplifiers currently available, anywhere
in the world." Will also drive electret headphones. Recommended only....Designed by

Altec 1566A:Vacuum Tube Preamp & Direct Box Project - There are all sorts of tube
circuits, some of which actually deliver The Sound people associate with Vacuum Tubes.
Did you know, for example, that asymmetrical distortion generates even-order harmonics
while symmetrical distortion produces odd-order harmonics? Neither vacuum tubes
nor transistors are exclusively responsible for either type of distortion, it’s really
about circuit design. (added 4/02) |

Amp with Tone Controls & Soft Switching - Built around an LM380, this amplifier
includes tone controls and electronic "soft switching". The soft switching circuitry
ensures power is built up gradually eliminating the dc thump…(added 07/07/07) |

Amplified Ear (drawn by R. Kollman) - This circuit, connected to 32 Ohm impedance
mini-earphones, can detect very remote sounds. Useful for theatre, cinema and lecture
goers: every word will be clearly heard. You can also listen to your television set at
a very low volume, avoiding to bother relatives and neighbors. Even if you have a
faultless hearing, you may discover unexpected sounds using this device: a remote bird
twittering will seem very close to you. ….(electronic schematic added 11/08) |
