Small Signal Audio Design is a highly practical handbook providing an extensive repertoire of
circuits that can be assembled to make almost any type of audio system. This fully revised
fourth edition offers wholly new content on internally balanced audio design electret
microphones emitter-follower stability microphony in capacitors and much much more. 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 use load synthesis to make magnetic cartridge
preamplifiers that have noise so low it is limited by basic physics 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 theories 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.
