Audio Power Amplifier Design Handbook
By Douglas Self / 2002 / 445 pages
Douglas Self invited his years of outstanding sound design experience to compile this booklet for professionals and students. The book provides a clear and practical guide to the modern state, and includes detailed information on design and construction. This new edition is more comprehensive than ever, with a new chapter on G-series amplifiers and more new material on output coils, thermal distortion, relay distortion, ground loops, triple EF output stages, and convection cooling. Douglas Self is dedicated to demystifying speaker design and creating experimental design techniques based on electronic design principles and experimental data. His rigorous and pragmatic approach has proven just as a leading force in the design of amplifiers, especially through the pages of the electronics world where he contributes regularly.
