Trinity Power AMP, Справочное руководство

Страница: 10 / 38

Everybody will agree to design an ideal amp is impossible, but how close a design comes to these requirements
determine the real quality of the amp.
The development target of the TRINITY POWER AMP was to get as close as possible to these objectives. Since the
maximum output power is not a sound relevant parameter, we decided to build a moderate power amp, which is
nevertheless able to drive 2Ohm loads almost distortion free. The Power Amp should have the lowest distortions,
the lowest noise, the highest power bandwidth and a huge phase margin for complex loads to avoid that the amp
declines the excellent measurement results of our TRINITY PREAMP, DAC or PHONO Stage.
Like in all of our products only sound relevant parameters are the focus in our development.
The signal to noise ratio should be in the range that there is no noise or hum at full volume in any kind of
loudspeakers including high efficiency horn loudspeakers.
There are amplifiers on the market, which uses an error correction loops to reduce the THD like the one described
here:

Such a compensation needs an additional loop and will work fine with steady state signals like a sine wave, but
music is much more complex than that and the amp has to drive a very complex load, which can have a negative
influence on such additional loops.
The better way is, if the amp has no distortion at all, than there is no need to implement an additional error
correction loop. That is the reason why we have realized the loops in the TRINITY Power AMP in a “classical”
design.
Less is more.
