There are several aspects of audio converter design that are generally not well understood but have a dramatic impact on performance, both measurable and audible. Audio converter IC manufacturers ...

Developing audio mental interpolation skills also requires that the actual hardware prototype waveforms on the oscilloscope be compared with the DAW’s output and the sound you hear. In this way, the ...

The final circuit design is shown below. Crossover Circuit in CAD The component values for the circuit design are determined using SoundEasy’s ingenious optimization technique. It is as simple as ...

The audio input is fed directly into the grid of V1, which is also shunted with resistor R1. R1’s job is to both pull the grid of V1 to 0V potential and also provide a termination impedance to ...

The $119 Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 over-ear headphones offer a no-frills wired design with stellar active noise cancelling (ANC) performance, balanced sound and a price tag that isn't too hard to ...

USB audio systems act as a serial bridge that translates packets from the USB bus to the Inter-IC Sound (I 2 S) bus. This bus is usually connected to a codec or audio processor downstream (Fig. 1).

Combing multiple channels of audio is a perfect use for this circuit. The traditional inverting op-amp summer configuration exploits the feature of a low impedance node (virtual ground) at the ...

The biggest name in portable hi-fi players just teamed up with one of the most respected brands in in-ear monitors.

Astell&Kern Stainless steel and glass The PS10 is a high-quality portable hi-fi player featuring the same HEXA audio circuit design first developed for the company’s flagship SP3000 player. It also ...

According to LG, using DAC’s in parallel inside the V20 decreases noise by by a value of “1 divided by the square root of 4” per channel. LG says this improves noise performance by 50 ...
