  • Damping of Ringing in Audio Transformers 22.1.12
    Damping of ringing in audio transformers 22.1.12. 11.50 Damping Ringing in LC Circuits First edition 01/19/01 Damping a circuit is to reduce the ringing in it. Dampening a circuit is to throw a wet towel on it (probably because it is on fire and you just got done pulling the wall plug.) Star Trek is not the same any more once I had the difference pointed out to me that way. I can't keep a straight face when the say "put a dampening field on the Klingon vessel". What are they trying to do? Everybody knows Klingons don't like being wet so they are going to throw a field of wet blankets on them. No wonder they always react so violently to the dampening field. Overview of Damping Overshoot and ringing in a circuit is caused by having an under damped two or more pole network. This is an L and a C in a passive network, two L's in a feedback network or two C's in a feedback network. The feedback network can be intentional (feedback in an amp) or unintentional (parasitics.) There are many ways to reduce overshoot. They all rely on removing energy from the tank that is ringing at the ringing frequency. If you remove energy at frequencies other than the ringing frequency, you'll have a loss in gain and/or efficiency of the circuit. Even thought this page isn't a full dissertation on damping, it should get you started with the concept of RC damping.

    Application Report SLAA788A–September 2017–Revised March 2018 TPA324x and TPA325x Post-Filter Feedback Dan Kisling, Matthew Beardsworth ABSTRACT The TPA324x and TPA325x (TPA3244, TPA3245, TPA3250, TPA3251, TPA3255) Class-D audio amplifier families deliver high audio performance with less than 0.01% total harmonic distortion and noise (THD+N) to clipping. The high level of audio performance makes this device an ideal candidate for high resolution and high fidelity audio applications, which previously could only be achieved by Class-AB amplifiers. The TPA324x and TPA325x devices are analog input, closed loop (internal feedback network) Class-D audio amplifiers that can be further enhanced by adding an additional post-filter feedback (PFFB) or PFFB loop. This application report shows one optional implementation of PFFB for the TPA3244, TPA3245, TPA3250, TPA3251, and TPA3255 amplifiers. PFFB offers many benefits including lower output noise, improved THD+N performance, improved IMD performance, lower output impedance, frequency response less affected by load impedance, and suppression of nonlinearities of the LC filter.

  • Perceptual Study of Loudspeaker Crossover Filters
    HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Faculty of Electronics, Communications and Automation Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics Henri Korhola Perceptual Study of Loudspeaker Crossover Filters Master’s Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo, 25th February 2008 Supervisor: Professor Matti Karjalainen Instructor: Professor Matti Karjalainen HELSINKI UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT OF THE OF TECHNOLOGY MASTER’S THESIS Author: Henri Korhola Name of the thesis: Perceptual Study of Loudspeaker Crossover Filters Date: 25th February 2008 Number of pages: 81+10 Department: Signal Processing and Acoustics Professorship: S-89 Supervisor: Prof. Matti Karjalainen Instructor: Prof. Matti Karjalainen Digital signal processing offers interesting possibilities in audio reproduction. Crossover filter- ing in a multi-way loudspeaker is possible to implement digitally in a way that is not possible with analog filters. In spite of many publications on the topic, there exists few perceptual studies of digital crossover filters. This Master’s thesis presents an introduction to the theory of analog and digital filtering, prac- tical solutions of analog and digital crossover filters and discusses the differences among them. Later in the thesis, a perceptual study is conducted with two digital crossover filters: digital linear-phase FIR crossover filter and a digital implementation of the analog, so called Linkwitz- Riley crossover filter. The experiment was carried out as a listening experiment using both headphone simulation and a real loudspeaker in a listening room. The main goal of the study was to find out the Just Noticeable Difference (JND) limits for phase errors caused by the crossover filters with different sound samples.

  • White Paper: a New Zobel Network for Audio
    White Paper: A New Zobel Network for Audio 26th November 2009 This paper was publically issued, with revisions, on 5th July 2010, after associate review. © November 2009 Ben Duncan Research - UK & Russ Andrews Accessories Ltd 1 A New Zobel Network for Audio A new class of Zobel network 1 has recently been developed for assisting in RF & EMI suppression and spike risetime reduction, and overall offers consequent noise-floor reduction in the audio circuits associated with the device. A commercial realisation dedicated to mainly dealing with amplifier-to-speaker connections is named Zapperator. A complementary device incorporated into cables 2, and so particularly suited to line- and vinyl/cartridge-level connections, is Mini-Zapperator . This cable-integral version is particularly effective above SHF (above 800MHz). Availability is restricted to world-class woven Kimber cables, as available from Russ Andrews Accessories Ltd. It may be interesting to learn that Otto Zobel 1 did not specify the name for the network generically known as ‘Zobel’, and the title 'Zobel' or 'Zobel network' is largely limited to audio power electronics, and immediately related fields. Elsewhere, the same arrangement may be merely titled 'RC' network, or 'RC damper' or 'damping network'; or in more industrial cases 'snubber'. At the same time it fits naturally at the base of an entire family of dissipative filtrative networks he did invent, that also bear his name. But these are now largely forgotten - he is far more famous because of the beneficial applications for Zobels in well-engineered audio circuitry, particularly where there are solid-state circuits and/or loudspeakers.

This paper presents a new audio crossover network based on q-Bernstein polynomial which can be adjustable attenuation in stop-band by varying parameters of the transfer function. The crossover network gives an in-phase response and a flat summed of magnitude response of each filter through audio frequency band. The simulation results shown that the crossover network given high attenuation in stop-band which better than conventional crossover network at second-order and fourth-order. Moreover, the crossover network structure can be reduced complexity by based on subtractive circuits. Therefore, the proposed crossover network provided a high quality crossover network and can useful for professional reproduction sound systems. Keywords: q-Bernstein filter, in-phase crossover network, all-pole filter. 1. Introduction Generally, a crossover network used to divide wide frequency of an audio band for suitable of operating driver frequency. A two-band crossover network contains a low-pass filter and a high-pass filter for divide low frequency signal apply to low frequency driver or called woofer and the other high frequency signal apply to high frequency driver or Tweeter.
