võimendiahela

Võimendiahela, often translated as amplifier chain or audio chain, refers to the series of electronic components in an audio system that are responsible for increasing the strength of an audio signal. This chain typically begins with a source device, such as a CD player, turntable, or digital audio player, which generates a low-level audio signal. This signal then passes through a preamplifier, which further boosts its level and allows for volume control and source selection.

From the preamplifier, the signal moves to a power amplifier. The power amplifier's role is to provide sufficient current and voltage to drive loudspeakers. Without a power amplifier, the signal from the source or preamplifier would be too weak to produce audible sound. The output of the power amplifier is then connected to the loudspeakers, which convert the electrical signal back into sound waves.

In some integrated systems, the preamplifier and power amplifier are combined into a single unit called an integrated amplifier. The quality and design of each component within the võimendiahela significantly impact the overall sound reproduction quality. Factors such as noise floor, distortion, frequency response, and power output are crucial considerations when evaluating different amplifier chains. The entire chain works in concert to deliver the intended audio experience from the original source to the listener.
