The amplifier converts the low-energy signal into the same type of high-energy signal.
A power amplifier is part of the subwoofer speaker system. The power amplifier can improve the sound quality and help provide a better sound experience. Amplifier specifications are signal gain, efficiency, and power output. The output power of the amplifier is always in watts.
A stereo power amplifier can handle volume peaks and speaker efficiency. We consider a power amplifier to be an amplifier that produces a loud sound. The power amplifier receives the input electrical signal and amplifies it to a level that drives the speaker. These are classified according to the following categories.
A Class amplifier: It can run at full power for detailed, low-distortion music reproduction.
B Class amplifier: It operates when there is an input signal and is more energy-efficient than a Class A amplifier. Class B output power turned on and off, and the distortion level of these amplifiers is higher than Class A.
A/B Class amplifiers-The third category is called solid-state or transistor amplifiers. It combines the best characteristics of Class A and Class B amplifiers.
D Class amplifiers-These power amplifiers are turned on or off. This type of amplifier processes the incoming analog signal in digital form, including high-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM).
In theory, they can operate at 100% efficiency and use less power than traditional linear amplifiers.
Besides these categories, they base most amplifiers today on a technology called Class D amplifiers. Which provides higher energy efficiency than amplifiers based on Class A or Class AB technology.
Whenever you plan to purchase a power amplifier, we recommend it to seek professional help from audio technicians. The most important thing to consider is whether your speakers are compatible with the amplifier. The power input must be under control, otherwise, it will bring too much complexity to the music system.
When choosing it, your power output should register correctly.
Another important factor is total harmonic distortion or THD. No such amplifier can provide an ideal amplified signal. There are error components that distort the signal to some extent.
Another parameter to consider is the signal-to-noise ratio. This means the amount of hum and noise that the amplifier can add to the audio signal.
