dc.description.abstract | To many in the world of audio production, different preamplifiers hold a sort of magical essence that gives them their characteristics. I believe that there is a scientific explanation of why different preamplifiers are better suited for different jobs. The goal of my project is to qualitatively and subjectively answer the question, “What fundamentally makes preamplifiers different?” I believe I will discover that the slew rate of each preamplifier plays a major role in creating its unique sound. I expect this to have a major effect on why the API 512c preamp sounds punchier and why the Neve 1073 preamp has a smoother and warmer sound. I also believe I will see major differences in the frequency response as well as the amount of THD in each preamplifier tested. After conducting my research, I plan to use this knowledge to build a preamplifier of my own. | en_US |
