The articles cover both discrete and opamp preamplifier design, mixing console design, and power amplifier design. The preamplifier designs are illuminated by the very latest research on low noise and RIAA equalization. The famous series of 1993 articles on power amplifier distortion is included, with an extensive commentary reflecting the latest research on compensation and ultra-low distortion techniques. This book addresses the widened scope of technology that has become available to the audio designer over the last 35 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew materials include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSmall Signal Audio\u003c\/em\u003e, 2nd edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"His book exudes skilful engineering on every page, and I found it a very refreshing, enjoyable and inspirational read.\" Hugh Robjohns, \u003cem\u003eSound-On-Sound\u003c\/em\u003e, January 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eAudio Power Amplifier Design, \u003c\/i\u003e6th edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The latest, most up-to-date, rigorous electronics discussion of power amplifier design... the dominant reference in the audio power amplifier electronics field.\" Peter Delos, \u003cem\u003eAudioxpress\u003c\/em\u003e, May 2014\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"...I consider this book to be a must have for anybody serious about power amplifier design.\" Jean-Pierre Vanderreydt, \u003cem\u003eLinear Audio\u003c\/em\u003e, Sept 2013\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreamplifiers and related matters\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Advanced preamplifier design (Wireless World, November 1976)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 High-performance preamplifier (Wireless World, February 1979) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Precision preamplifier (Wireless World, October 1983) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Design of moving-coil head amplifiers (Wireless World, December 1987) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Precision preamplifier '96, Part 1 (Electronics World, July\/August 1996) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Precision preamplifier '96, Part 2 (Electronics World, September 1996)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Overload matters (phono headroom) (Electronics World, February 1997)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 A balanced view, Part 1 (Electronics World, April 1997)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 A balanced view, Part 2 (Electronics World, May 1997)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 High-quality compressor\/limiter (Wireless World, December 1975)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 Inside mixers (Electronics World, April 1991)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 Electronic analogue switching, Part 1: CMOS gates (Electronics World, January 2004)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 Electronic analogue switching, Part 2: discrete FETs (Electronics World, February 2004)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e14 Preamplifier 2012: Part 1: Line input and tone control?
