Small Signal Audio Design: Edition 5
Sobre aquest llibre
This book continues the engaging prose style familiar to readers, as you learn why mercury-filled cables are not a good idea, the pitfalls of plating gold on copper, and what quotes from Star Trek have to do with PCB design.
Learn how to:
- make amplifiers with apparently impossibly low noise
- design discrete circuitry that can handle enormous signals with vanishingly low distortion
- transform the performance of low-cost-opamps
- build active filters with very low noise and distortion while saving money on expensive capacitors
- make incredibly accurate volume controls
- make a huge variety of audio equalisers
- make magnetic cartridge preamplifiers that have noise so low it is limited by basic physics, by using load synthesis
- sum, switch, clip, compress, and route audio signals
- build simple but ultra-low noise power supplies
- be confident that phase perception is not an issue
Including all the crucial theory but with minimal mathematics, Small Signal Audio Design is the must-have companion for anyone studying, researching, or working in audio engineering and audio electronics.
