Meeting Notice: Mon 10th August … Designing Practical High End Audio Amplifiers

The next meeting of the AES Melbourne Section will be on Monday 10th August at 7:30pm
at The SAE Institute Lecture Theatre, 235 Normanby Rd South  Melbourne.

Hugh Dean of Aspen Amplifiers (http://www.aksaonline.com) will present on the topic

Hugh will describe the history of his AKSA amplifier design, giving detailed information and methodologies. He will also highlight the importance of establishing an appropriate distortion profile to provide a more realistic merit indicator than a simple THD% figure.

He will challenge the efficacy of the “Vanishingly-small THD Figure” specification approach, offering a different approach to the distortion issue for amplifiers designed to reproduce music.

This should be a most interesting, informative, and thought-provoking presentation.
