For whole house audio, you need a "whole house amp". Another name for this is a "distribution amp". The companies that make these are Russound, Nuvo Technologies, Xantech, Elan, and others. These amps can typically serve 6 "zones" of speaker pairs (total 12 speakers) pumping audio signals from up to 6 "sources" (MP3, CD, AM/FM, Sirius, etc). Simply picking an amp is not enough since the amp merely powers, and distributes the source audio. Once you have source audio, you will also need the ability to control these sources from around your house, and from each "zone". Therefore a whole house audio system is usually comprised of a whole house amp, several audio sources, a pair of speakers per zone, and a remote keypad located in each zone. Keep in mind, for larger "zones" like a big room or an outdoor patio, you will need more than one pair of speakers. However since most whole house amps can only power one pair of speakers per zone, you will need to pursue a variety of options including a separate "power amp" dedicated to just that zone.

What amplification is done by class c amplifier?

a class c amplifier conducts only for a small fraction of the period ( cycle ) of the input signal. hence its use is normally limited to circuits called oscillators where the high efficiency & power gain inherent of class C is utilised together with tuned circuits. As a matter of information, high fidelity amplifiers used for professional audio etc. use class A amplifier, where the amplifier works continoulsy over the full period of the input signal. Then there is class B type where the amplifier works for about 50% of the input signal period. This type of amplifier is used especially in High frequency circuits where the use of a Tuned circuit enables a full cycle to be generated even though the amplifier is working as class B A variation of clss B used especially in audio systems is with Two class B circuits each operating synchronously over a particular half of the signal, the two halves being combined to generate a whole signal cycle. Then there are inbetween variations called class AB etc. Modern digital technology has introduced Class D type amplifiers which are a different lot altogether.


What is the best way to find all the frogs in Metal Gear Solid 3?

Use the audio amplifier thing. and wear the uniform with the ducks. i think its called the GA-KO uniform. It makes the frogs croak. Use the amplifier to pinpoint on where they are. The Official Stratergy Guide has a whole section dedicated to this, each section of the game has a map, and even a screen shot of the kerotan frogs. This is how I found them all. [Plus the gako camo helps to sniff 'em out.
