When not playing audio, an audio amplifier typically consumes power in a state known as standby or idle mode. This power usage can vary significantly based on the design and efficiency of the amplifier, but it generally ranges from a few watts to around 20 watts. High-efficiency amplifiers and those with advanced power management features tend to consume less power in this state. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for precise figures.

Approximately how much does a Onebox audio amplifier cost?
If one were interesting in purchasing a Onebox audio amplifier, it would depend on where it is purchased from and what size. They range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand.
What must be supplied to an amplifier in order for it to be able make the output signal bigger?
To amplify a signal, an amplifier must be supplied with a power source, which provides the necessary energy to increase the amplitude of the input signal. Additionally, the amplifier needs a suitable input signal that it can process. The amplifier's design and gain settings determine how much the output signal will be increased relative to the input.
What are practical applications of a transformer coupled amplifier?
Well the purpose of the transformer in an amplifier is impedance matching. Lets say the transformer is on the input of a audio amp. Now the amp circuitry has an input impedance (this is important because matching the impedance gives us maximum power transferred from the input signal source to the amp circuit, and that increases performance) and a microphone has an output impedance. So if the microphone is 10,000 ohms and the amp circuit is 500 ohms then the transformer is designed to transform 10,000 ohms to 500 ohms for better signal transfer. If the trans former is on the output of an amplifier the trans former transforms the output impedance of the of the power amp circuit to the input impedance of the load. If the output is a speaker (usually 8 ohms ) and the output impedance of the amp circuit is 1000 ohms then for maximum power transfer the transformer trans forms 1000 ohms to 8 ohms. This was the case using electron tubes. Now with transistors, amplifier circuits can be built with lower output impedances (common collector circuit in a class B power amp) so the costly transformer can be eliminated. Also Audio transformers are made slightly different in design than power transformers. Ausio transformers are designed with higher resistance in the windings to enable a wider frequency response where as power transformers are designed with much lower resistance to keep heating minimized while passing only one power frequency (60 hertz) at large amounts of power.

Is it possible to use class c amplifier in FM transmitter?
Technically possible, but not something you want to do. Once the carrier has been AM modulated, you need to handle it tenderly after that. Specifically, distortion has to be prevented, because distortion means new frequencies are introduced into the package, which makes the AM signal wider in occupied bandwidth ANDmakes AM sound terrible. Preventing distortion means the package can only be handled with 'linear' stages, and a Class-C stage is possibly the most non-linear kind of amplifier there is, since it's completely cut off for part of each RF cycle. By the way, this is the reason that AM is normally modulated in the RF power amplifier ... the last stage before the antenna. It would be a lot cheaper and easier to modulate at low level ... where much less audio power would be required ... and then RF-amplify the package for transmission, as is done in FM. But AM is so sensitive to distortion that it takes too much TLC to power-amplify it once it's been modulated. So amplifying (or frequency converting) are generally avoided after AM has been modulated.
Can you play 8 ohm speakers on a 16 ohm amp?
There is no 8 ohm solid state amp. Really! The output impedance of such an amp will be arround 0.4 ohms. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two units- Voltage Bridging - Zout < Zin".You can, as long as the amp's impedance is much lower to the speaker(s) total ohm load you're fine. We have never impedance matching there.
What is the best kind of amp to just power a sub?
Subwoofers draw a lot of current when played at louder volumes. Thus it is either preferable to use an amplifier which can produce as much RMS (not peak) power as the subwoofer's power rating, or to be sure not to overdrive the amplifier since this produces audio distortion. Audio distortion can burn out the voice coil within a speaker.

What is low level AM modulator?
Historically, AM modulation has always been applied to the final power amplifier stage of the transmitter, just before it goes to the antenna. The reason for doing it this way is that once it's modulated, the composite signal can't be handled by any non-linear devices; any non-linearity generates new frequencies, which would have the effect of introducing audible distortion into the modulated signal.The disadvantage of AM-modulating the final amplifier stage is that doing so requires audio power equal to 50% of the carrier power ... if you're running a 50 KW AM radio station, you need 25 KW ( ! ) of clean audio to modulate it with. You know what 100 watts of audio for your Home Theater or your car costs, so you can imagine what 25 KW of broadcast-quality audio, or even 5 KW, must cost.Low level modulation means modulation applied to a low-power stage before the power amplifier boosts it to the full transmit power level. That's obviously a great benefit, because you don't need nearly as much audio power, so the audio stages are much less expensive. BUT ... it means that every stage after modulation must be a highly linear stage, in order to avoid distortion. So now, instead of a husky Class-C final power amplifier, it has to be a Class-A (I think maybe Class-AB also works). Class-A for a final means much lower efficiency, so it has to be bigger, and use more DC power supply than the old Class-C needed, in order to send the same power up to the antenna. So it's a cost trade-off.
Why do speakers blow?
There are only two ways a speaker can blow.THERMAL DAMAGE - a few examples:- Too much power applied long term.- amplifier ran into clipping (distortion, amplifier trying to produce more power than it can)- problematic amplifier producing DC voltage at it outputsMECHANICAL DAMAGE - a few examples:- too much peak power - driver over excursion (the coil can hit the back magnet structure and smash itself or tear the cone or surround)- no high pass frequency - driver over excursion
What is complementary symmetry power amplifier?
A full and true "quasi complementary symmetry power amplifier" is an audio amplifier whose power output section is typically comprised of 2 of the same NPN output transistors, (generally matched) and 2 of the same PNP or NPN driver transistors, (also generally matched). Driven by dual matching + & - DC voltage power supply voltages. With the exception of the bias control circuit components, each half of the output circuit are exact mirror images of one another. Each half of the circuit amplifies the positive and negative half cycle of the audio signal. The theory is, "it is much more likely to perfectly match the performance of each half cycle of the amplifier by using this circuit design criteria. Only the most esoteric amplifier manufactures used this design in the late 60's and 70's.

How does amplitude increases in an amplifier?
Amplitude can increase in an amplifier by boosting the strength of the input signal. This is typically achieved by providing additional power to the signal through the amplifier, causing the output to have a higher amplitude than the input. The amplifier amplifies the signal by multiplying it by a constant factor known as the gain, which determines how much the amplitude is increased.
