  The topic of this text is a review
common implementation options
audio final amplifier
for computer.                         
                                        
  typically audio outputs A, B and C
music coprocessor connected to
mixer that forms stereo balance and
required amplitude levels.  after
this sound is output to some
peripheral connector for connecting
to the amplifier.                            
                                        
  There are two types of amplifiers - soldered
and ready. we won't consider the first ones
we will, just because.               
                                        
  Ready-made amplifiers include:       
                                        
- TV audio                        
- final stage of the tape recorder amplifier
 R - red                           
  G - green                           
  B - blue                             
  VIDEO/SYNC - video/sync mix        
  AUDIO - sound                          
  GND - ground                           
                                        
  if the TV is black and white, then RGB is not
connect.the TV may have a socket type
tape recorder, scart type connector or
just video and audio inputs.             
                                        
  the first option connects

computer and TV using
cable.                                 
                                        
  the second option is not similar to the first, only
on some TVs for normal
work needs to be given some kind of signal
the same scart some level.       
                                        
 The third option is not very successful.
you can simply connect a video signal, in

video amplifiers.                        
                                        
  It should be noted that all amplifiers
audio frequency of television and audio equipment
were designed specifically for reinforcement
sound, so they have quite normal
characteristics.                         
                                        
2. TAPE PLAYER, MUSIC CENTER, PLAYER 
                                        
  Such devices consist of
preampand final.
pre-amplifies the signal with
magnetic head, piezoceramic
pickup, etc. terminal
amplifier - powerful, works
directly to the speakers. between them
various equalizers included,
volume controls, etc.             
                                        
  some devices have the so-called.
line input - it goes directly to the input
volume control and then - to low.
The audio output of the computer must be connected
right here.                            
                                        
  if there is no entrance, it is removed
do. for example, you can connect to
one of the outputs of the volume control
or find the input on the board (there may be
space for the connector or even itself
unused connector).              
                                        
  note that almost all amplifiers
in audio equipment are
high quality and suitable for
playing sound from a computer.    
                                        
3. AMPLIFIER                            
                                        
  amplifiers are a box with
various inputs and outputs as well as
regulators and light bulbs.              
They are also intended to enhance
sound and have different output
power.                               
                                        
  some amplifiers contain
preamplifier - e.g.
for microphone.                         
                                        
  the amplifier has a high output
power and adjustability
stereo balance, low and
high frequencies, and some - and
equalizers for fine tuning
gain across frequency bands.             
                                        
4. SPEAKERS FOR ibm PC CLASS COMPUTER 
                                        
  these devices are usually connected to
pussy and placed on the sides of the monitor.
These speakers contain amplifiers and
require food.                        
                                        
  ps-shny speakers, despite everything
there is a variety of them, there are two types:
SHIT and NICE. it's quite easy to identify the first ones
simple: they have small speakers
diameter, and, as a result, are unable
reproduce with acceptable quality
the entire frequency range of musical
coprocessor. speakers like SHIT can
be equipped with a tone control and
button typebass connecting
parallel to the input capacitor.   but
This does not improve the sound quality, so
Speakers of this type are not suitable for
use with a Spectrum computer, but
can be used (and are used)
on PC to play service
Windows sounds.                           
                                        
  NISHTYAK type speakers have a size of
order more columns like SHIT
due to the use of speakers there
larger diameter.                      
                                        
  sound quality depends on the speaker
directly. the larger its diameter, the
range expands more
frequencies reproduced by it in the area
low.                                 
                                        
  LOW FREQUENCIES IN THE SPECTRUM ARE
ENVELOPE, DRUMS, AND NOTES ON 1 AND
2 OKABAX. for the most part they give
Spectrum music its unique
lovely.                               
                                        
  NISHTYAK type speakers can also have
tone and bass boost control
frequencies, which is similar to similar chips in
tape recorders, music centers, etc.       
                                        
  Note about speaker size
(or - columns as a whole) is valid for
any sound reproducing equipment,therefore you need to take this into account when
designing your audio system if
you want good quality
sound.  chips like extra-bass also
should not be neglected.                  
                                        
 it should be remembered that good sound
gives your computer even more SPECTRUM
charms and more rules! :)
