When testing the PAM8403 without LC filters by using resistor instead of speaker as the output load, the test results, e.g. THD or efficiency, will be worse than those of using speaker as load. 、、、とフィルターなしでのテスト時には注意書きしてある。 つまりメーカーはフィルターレスでは無計測だ。
The three major parts that make an amplifier tube are: the Cathode, the Grid and the Plate. The Cathode heats up when voltage hits the tube, causing a cloud of electrons to form. The Plate has a positive charge, which causes the negatively charged electrons to flow toward it. The Grid controls this flow of electrons. It is also the audio signal input for the tube.
An audio signal entering the tube causes a change in voltage at the Grid. This change in voltage changes the flow of electrons and causes amplification.
The behavior of electrons described above is an example of a Class A amplifier. These amps apply a positive voltage to the Grid. Class AB amplifiers apply a negative “bias” voltage to the grid. This bias causes the electrons in the cloud to avoid the Plate. This is the standby mode of the tube.
The voltage of the audio signal entering the Grid causes the voltage on the Plate to change from negative to positive. This attracts the electrons in the cloud and causes them to flow to the plate. The tube in the Class AB amp then behaves like a Class A described above.
The need to change the charge of the plate from positive to negative causes the Class AB amplifier to feel less responsive than a Class A amp. But it also means the tube components aren’t in full use even when a signal is not passing through. This means the tubes generally last longer.
