dynamic range of an amplifier
1Dynamic range compression — This article is about a process that intentionally reduces the dynamic range of audio signals. For similar reductions caused by circuit imperfections, see Gain compression. For processes that reduce the size of digital audio files, see Audio… …
2Amplifier — For other uses, see Amplifier (disambiguation). Generally, an amplifier or simply amp, is a device for increasing the power of a signal. In popular use, the term usually describes an electronic amplifier, in which the input signal is usually a… …
3Logarithmic video amplifier — A logarithmic video amplifier or LVA is typically part of radar and electronic countermeasures microwave systems and sonar navigation systems, used to convert a very large dynamic range input power to an output voltage that increases… …
4Dynamic random access memory — (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. Since real capacitors leak charge, the information eventually fades unless the capacitor charge is refreshed periodically …
5Operational amplifier — A Signetics μa741 operational amplifier, one of the most successful op amps. An operational amplifier ( op amp ) is a DC coupled high gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input and, usually, a single ended output.[1] An op amp… …
6Guitar amplifier — Mesa Boogie Mark IV, a guitar combo amplifier A guitar amplifier (or guitar amp) is an electronic amplifier designed to make the signal of an electric or acoustic guitar louder so that it will produce sound through a loudspeaker. Most guitar… …
7Valve audio amplifier - technical — Circuitry and performance Characteristics of valves Valves are very high input impedance (near infinite in most circuits) and high output impedance devices. They are also high voltage / low current devices.While valves themselves are described… …
8Leveling amplifier — A leveling amplifier or leveler is an audio process, similar to compression, which is used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal, so that the quietest portion of the signal is loud enough to hear and the loudest portion is not too loud. A… …
9Differential amplifier — symbol The inverting and non inverting inputs are distinguished by − and + symbols (respectively) placed in the amplifier triangle. Vs+ and Vs− are the power supply voltages; they are often omitted from the diagram for simplicity, but of course… …
10Electrical characteristics of dynamic loudspeakers — A dynamic loudspeaker driver s chief electrical characteristic is its electrical impedance versus frequency. Explanation The most common driver type is an electro mechanical transducer using a voice coil rigidly connected to a diaphragm… …
