Small Signal Audio Design: Edition 5

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.
