How Tiny Can They Get? - A Look At Super-Mini Audio Amps
Newest models of super-mini audio amplifiers show the continuing trend of miniaturization of consumer devices such as cell phones or computers. Everything is becoming smaller and vendors are packing more and more features into the same space. You most likely still remember the good old tube amps which would dominate the living room. Whilst tube amps are still popular amongst fanatics, audio amplifiers nowadays are solid-state amps for the most part.
Today’s amps combine traditional pre-amps and power amps and arrange everything neatly in a single package no larger than a VCR. A new generation of super-miniature amplifiers, such as the Amphony Model 100 microFidelity amp, has become feasible due to new developments in audio technology concerning power efficiency. These mini amps use no more room than a deck of cards but deliver up to 50 Watts, which is adequate to drive a speaker to high volume.
In history, audio amplifiers would possess fairly low power efficiency due to the "Class-A" and "Class-AB" structure of analog amplifiers. Only a small portion of the consumed energy - typically in the order of 20% to 30% - is in fact transformed into audio by analog amplifiers. The remaining portion is radiated as heat. This requires that depending on the supported output power, analog audio amps have to provide extensive cooling which is accomplished by employing heat sinks. These heat sinks do not allow these amplifiers to be made very small.
The "Class-D" topology of digital amplifiers offers higher efficiency than analog amps. The efficiency typically ranges between 80% and 95%. This allows digital amps to be miniaturized. "Class-D" amplifiers employ a switching output stage. This stage introduces nonlinearities which causes audio distortion. This difficulty has had an impact on the triumph of digital amplifiers.
Some new amplifier technologies have emerged. Amongst those are "Class-T" and newer generation "Class-D" architectures. These types of new architectures, such as the technology used in Amphony's Model 100 use a feedback mechanism. The output signal is fed back to the amplifier input. Using this design, the amplifier is capable to compensate for errors brought on by the switching output stage. Amplifiers based on this design are able to achieve low audio distortion similar to traditional analog amplifiers but at the same time the power efficiency of digital amplifiers.
These new generation miniature audio amplifiers are suited for a variety of new applications where previous audio amplifiers have failed. These applications include installations, such as in-ceiling installations, with minimum space or connecting speakers to a cable box or DVD/MP3 player where minimum space is important.
