I can't seem to solve this nagging problem. I practice guitar a lot when I'm sitting in front of the PC, as I'll be reading online tab, jamming along to MP3s, etc. Unfortunately, this also causes a ...

Building on last month’s discussion of resistor noise, let’s check out some basics of amplifier noise. The non-inverting op amp configuration is most common for low noise applications so we’ll make ...

For more than 35 years the NS-2 stomp has been an effective set-and-forget solution to background noise in an electric guitarist's signal chain. Now it's being joined by a "highly tunable" next-gen ...

When something is described as “Low Noise”, it is by the nature of the language a relative phrase. The higest quality magnetic tape is low noise compared to its cheaper sibling for example, but still ...

As noted by Daniel Defoe and Benjamin Franklin, there are only two things that are certain in life: death and taxes. Unfortunately for those that design or use electronics, there is another: noise.

Claiming 60% less noise and 50% lower distortion compared with competitive devices, the OPA1612 is a dual-channel, bipolar-input audio operational amplifier that delivers clear, crisp sound. The ...

Why the fresh emphasis on low-noise amplification? Some of it is an issue of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Today, sensor voltages and device operating voltages are lower than they used to be, so noise ...

Freshly squeezed from the R&D department at legendary British guitar amp brand Orange comes the King Comp, a “studio quality” VCA compressor that allows you to squash and tame unwanted transients in ...
