    摘要: A power amplifier includes a class-D amplifier and an input signal supplier. The class-D amplifier includes an input portion and a switching device. The switching device is switched according to an input signal that is input to the input portion so that a current is supplied to a load from a power source via the switching device. The input signal supplier supplies the input signal to the input portion of the class-D amplifier, calculates a virtual output voltage to be output from a virtual power source having a prescribed internal impedance characteristic when a current to flow through the load is output from the virtual power source, and adjust an amplitude of the input signal according to the virtual output voltage.

    摘要: The invention is a high-power transconductance circuit (HVTC) comprising three direct-coupled stages which can be substituted for a final-stage power-amplifying vacuum tube in an audio amplifier. The HVTC consists of an input stage, a driver stage, an output stage, and a power conditioner. The input to the HVTC is a composite signal consisting of an AC component and a DC component. The input stage conditions the input composite signal for input to the driver stage. The driver stage transforms the input composite signal into the driving signal for the output stage. The output stage utilizes one or more power transistors to drive a load. The power conditioner supplies regulated power to the HVTC. The input composite signal is direct-coupled through the input stage and the driver stage to the output stage.

    摘要: A vacuum tube replacement device includes an indicator. The indicator can be arranged to provide audible and/or visual indication of system performance, function, status, or any other desired indication. The vacuum tube replacement device is pin-for-pin compatible with standard vacuum tube circuit pin configurations. The replacement device may be a solid-state tube emulator device, a traditional glass envelope vacuum tube device, or some other hybrid device. The visual indicator is equally useful for non-vacuum tube replacement devices such as audio amplifier circuits.

    摘要: A musical amplifier that includes a vacuum tube and a transistor. The vacuum tube is connected to the gate of the transistor, so that the current flow through the transistor is controlled by the vacuum tube. According to one example of the invention, the vacuum tube-transistor arrangement is set up in a “push-pull” arrangement, where a vacuum tube-transistor combination controls positive voltages, and another vacuum tube-transistor combination controls the negative voltages delivered by the system, the system output being at approximately zero voltage when not under load. Also, the use of the “Edison effect,” referred to as “thermionic emission” from vacuum tubes to variably regulate output transistor bias current resulting in substantially reduced total harmonic distortion is also disclosed.

    摘要: A musical instrument amplifier has all solid state amplification stages but incorporates a pair of vacuum tube signal magnitude limiters to provide vacuum tube type sound when the amplifier is operating in a nonlinear condition. The vacuum tubes are connected to have no supply potential so as to minimize microphonics and are each provided with a small amount of reverse bias to provide a desirable shape of the tube conduction curve and space charge suppression.

    摘要: A distortion effector includes a calculation section for performing a predetermined higher-degree expression calculation on an input digital sound signal, and a multiplication section that is provided in series with the calculation section for multiplying the digital sound signal by a coefficient that is adjusted so as to utilize a specific portion of the higher-degree expression which exhibits a smooth distortion characteristic. The digital sound signal is distorted in accordance with a smooth non-linear curve based on the higher-degree expression calculation, to thereby achieve a mild distortion effect. In a multi-effector capable of imparting three or more predetermined effects in such a manner that the effects can be selected to be imparted independently of each other, a registration device is provided for registering, for each of the effects, whether the effect should be made switchable or not. When a collective-switching switch is operated, control is performed such that the effect-on or effect-off state is inversively switched for any effect registered as switchable. For any effect registered as non-switchable by the registration device, the effect-on or effect-off state is not switched even when the collective-switching switch is operated.

    摘要: The invention relates to a modified electronic amplifier of the push/pull configuration. The difference being that only one signal (as apposed to two signals 180 degrees out of phase) is needed to drive the amplifier, the distortion in the nonlinear region is asymmetrical, and a feedback signal is used which automatically compensates for differences between the two active elements (tubes or transistors) that comprise the push/pull amplifier.
