Do amps only increase volume?

Amplifiers do more than simply increase the sound of your audio. Amplifiers are the machinery first used by audio professionals. This is true for live audio settings or those enclosed for recording. An amplifier can increase sound through a powering feature, but they can also change the tonal ranges of that sound. It all depends on your goals, where you put the amp within the sequence of sound, and which control settings you use. The variety of things an amplifier does makes it a popular tool with audio processing. You can use a new amplifier to replace the one you had for increasing volume or for adding more texture to the sound you need.

Where is the amp connected to the sound system?

The amplifier is connected with an input source. Think of using an electric guitar. The guitar’s signal can be extracted by the amplifier. This would allow you to then project that sound or to send it elsewhere for another cause. The basic idea is that amplifiers are placed at the beginning of an audio circuit. It can capture sound in order to digitize it for further use. That may include increasing sound, but it may be to void out certain tones before reaching a different device. Here are common inputs that connect to an amplifier:

  • Mp3: Amplifiers that are directly connected to speakers are suitable for using with an mp3 player. The amp can take your signal and revert it into an electrical current that plays from the speakers.
  • Mixers: Mixers provide the amp with an astounding spectrum of possibilities. There are many controls, from bass to reverb, which can be built into a mixer. Giving an amp a signaled sound from an instrument would allow it to alter that sound before it reaches the mixer. Doing so provides you with limitless options.
Are amps made in protective shells?

Some amplifiers are exposed while some are enclosed with a hard, plastic shell. An open amp gives you direct access to the central board used by the circuit. You can then insert it into the device of your choosing while enhancing the performance of a sound system.
