tuber Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I'm not sure I can express my self well enough to be under stood but here goes. The signal you hear coming out of an amplifier is not the input signal made larger or more powerful. You are hearing the power supply. The output transformer or transistor is connected in series with the power supply this signal is what operates the speakers. The input signal controls the output through the power tube or transistor but the electricity comes from the power supply. Picture a man standing under a tank of water with a pipe attached to the bottom of the tank He opens and closes a valve (very quickly) in the pipe. The tank is the power supply. The water coming out of the pipe the output to the speaker, and the man (or woman) is the input signal controlling the output. That's why the power supply is so important, what comes out of the supply goes into the signal going to the speaker. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
