1. What types of audio amplifiers are available?
Common types of audio amplifiers include:
Class A amplifiers: have the highest sound quality, but are less efficient.
Class B amplifiers: More efficient, but may produce crossover distortion.
Class AB amplifiers: between Class A and Class B with good balance.
Class D amplifier: highest efficiency, suitable for portable devices, but slightly lower sound quality. -
2. How to choose a suitable audio amplifier?
When choosing an audio amplifier, factors such as output power, total harmonic distortion (THD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), efficiency, impedance matching (speaker impedance), and power consumption should be taken into consideration to ensure that it is well-matched with the speakers and audio source equipment.

3. 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%.
-
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.
