How the Heck Do Amplifiers Work Anyway? | Signal Path

In this episode of Signal Path, we dive into the world of amplifiers. Discover how amplifiers boost weak audio signals from microphones and instruments to power loudspeakers. We'll break down the science behind how different amplifier types work, from Lee De Forest's vacuum tube-based triode invention to modern transistor and op-amp amplifiers. Learn how tubes create 'warm' sound through even-order distortion, and how transistors and op-amps amplify audio signals with accuracy and control. Whether you're a musician, audio engineer, or tech enthusiast, this video will give you a clear understanding of how amplifiers power your sound.
