lineforstærkere

Lineforstærkere, often referred to as line drivers or simply line amps, are electronic devices designed to boost a weak audio signal to a level suitable for transmission over a longer distance or for connection to other audio equipment with higher input impedance. They operate within the "line level" range, which is a standardized signal strength in audio systems. This typically falls between -10 dBV and +4 dBu, a significantly stronger signal than microphone level.

The primary function of a line amplifier is to increase the voltage of an audio signal without introducing significant noise or distortion. This is crucial for maintaining signal integrity, especially when signals need to travel across rooms or through complex cabling. Without a line amplifier, signals could become attenuated, picking up electromagnetic interference, or failing to drive subsequent equipment effectively, resulting in a weak or noisy output.

Line amplifiers are commonly found in professional audio setups, studios, live sound reinforcement, and broadcast environments. They can be integrated into mixing consoles, used as standalone units, or built into active loudspeakers. In some cases, a line amplifier may also incorporate features like impedance matching or signal splitting, allowing a single source to feed multiple destinations. The output impedance of a line amplifier is typically low, enabling it to drive capacitive loads and long cable runs effectively.
