UNDERSTANDING YOUR AMPLIFIER’S FEATURES WHAT IS AN AMPLIFIER?... An amplifier, by definition, is a device that receives a small audio signal on its input and reproducesit with larger voltages (or current) on its output. Ideally there should be no internal modifications of the signal other than volta...
