Amplifiers

In essence, all an amplifier does is increase the level of an input signal. Audio amplifiers come in three main designs: First are preamplifiers - preamps - which boost a weak signal (from microphones, instruments, turntables etc) up to the level required for further amplification, critically without adding noise or distortion. Next are power amplifiers - power amps - which boost the line-level signal up to the level required to drive loudspeakers. Finally there are integrated amplifiers - integrated amps - which contain both a preamp AND a power amp, all in one tidy box.
