1. What is the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of an audio amplifier?
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the distortion component introduced by an audio amplifier during the signal amplification process. the lower the THD, the closer the amplified audio signal will be to the original signal, and usually high quality audio amplifiers have a THD value of less than 1%.
-
2. What is a Class D audio amplifier and what are its advantages?
Class D audio amplifiers work through Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology and have extremely high efficiency (typically up to 90% or higher), making them suitable for use in portable audio equipment or high-efficiency sound systems. It generates less heat because it reduces energy consumption.
-
3. What is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of an audio amplifier?
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a measure of the ratio of the audio signal to the background noise, with higher values indicating less noise in the audio signal. A high SNR usually means clearer sound output.
-
4. What should the frequency response range of an audio amplifier be?
The frequency response range of a good quality audio amplifier is usually between 20Hz and 20kHz, which is the typical frequency range that the human ear can hear. A wider frequency response ensures that the audio amplifier can accurately reproduce both low and high frequency details.
