An amplifier can be used to adapt the range of a signal to a requirement, to make it more robust for transmission, or to satisfy interface requirements (like input/output impedance).

DC Biasing a signal and what prevents the signal going to the power supply?

The signal enters on the left side of C and gets out on the right side of C and goes to the amplifier. But this is the problem. …

Isn't C1 and C2 nulling the input signal?

I am a relative newbie to electronics. Looking at the following schematics I see something strange: C1 and C2 at the input. I always knew that capacitors block DC signals and let AC pass. By having …

Trying to make an amplifier to work

I am designing a headphone amplifier around the IC TL074. I have this circuit so far. This circuit is almost good but the sound I see at the output is slightly distorted. … Then I tried to make it an AB amplifier by converting the circuit to... And now I have no sound at the output. …

A question about AC Ground and Shielding

This is an audio device and it has an amplifier, so I will have shield cables all over the place, from the volume potentiometer to the PCB, from the input/output connections to the PCB and so one. …

Loud hum and buzz... I think I know why but I don't know how to solve

I have modified the amplifier, as suggested by τεκ to run on the full rail. This is the modified circuit. … Notice how the amplifier ground is tied to -5 and the power to 5, meaning that it is powered by the 12 VDC coming from the external adapter... see schematics. …

This is something I do not understand correctly about transistor polarization

Suppose the following audio amplifier configuration: Suppose that Vc is correctly configured to be in the middle of the rail. So, at rest, Vc = 4.5V, Ve = 0 and Vb = 0,6V, right? … In my mind, as the transistor cuts off, Vc will be 9V but this circuit is mentioned on the web as being an amplifier. It seem to me more like a half cycle rectifier... What am I missing? …
