How to match the tube amplifier (amplifier)

There is a design principle in the electronic circuit of the home theater network (), that is, "the output impedance of the pre-stage circuit is preferably 1/10 of the input impedance of the post-stage circuit." Because this will not produce a bad "load effect."

How to match the tube amplifier (amplifier)

So what is the "load effect"? Take a simple example to understand: for example, there are many appliances in the home, then the voltage that the power socket can provide may drop. If the air conditioner is turned on at this time, the light will be found. The brightness becomes darker. Why? This is because of the adverse effects of excessive power load and voltage drop. Therefore, if the power supply is to be normal and maintained at the rated 220V, the load should not exceed the rated value, otherwise a bad load effect will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid adverse load effects on the sound. The output impedance of the front stage is preferably 1/10 of the input impedance of the latter stage. The latter stage is a small load for the front stage, so that it does not affect the front. Level of work.

So, why should the tube amp use an output transformer?

Because the output impedance of the tube is very high, in most cases it is impossible to reach the post-stage load, which is the requirement of the speaker impedance of 1/10. Therefore, the output transformer must be used to convert the impedance, so that the tube with high output impedance can also Drive low impedance speakers. The reason why the transistor machine does not need to use the output transformer? That is because the output impedance of the transistor is very low, most of the design can easily reach less than 1/10 of the speaker impedance, so the transistor machine does not need to use the output transformer.

Since the tube needs to use the output transformer to drive the speaker effectively, why is there 4 4Ω, 8Ω, 16Ω and other output taps on the output transformer? The answer is also very simple, in order to make the output power of the vacuum tube reach the most efficient conversion, output The secondary coil of the transformer must be adjusted for different impedances of the speaker, with different coil diameters and turns, and finally the complete impedance matching can be achieved. The power generated by the tube can be transmitted to the speaker as much as possible, thereby reducing the The necessary loss.

In the method of winding the transformer, the taper with lower impedance has a thicker wire diameter and fewer turns, but the output current is larger. The 4Ω average speaker is connected to the 4Ω output terminal, which not only avoids load effects, but also achieves near-rated power transmission. However, if a speaker with an average impedance of 4 Ω is connected to the 16 Ω output terminal, not only the load effect but also the rated power transmission cannot be obtained. This is not a good thing for amplifiers and speakers.

However, the general tube amp has only three impedance outputs of 4Ω.8Ω.16Ω, so how to connect the 6Ω speaker?

As can be seen from the above description, the load effect is not generated on the terminal of 4 Ω, and good power transmission can be obtained, which is theoretically an ideal connection. But the difference between the 8Ω output terminal and 6Ω is not too big. At the same time, the impedance of the speaker is not constant, but it changes with the frequency of the AC signal. Therefore, it can also be connected to the 8Ω output terminal to try and listen. Which one is more ideal, it should be a better choice.

Icicle & Curtain Lights

The curtain light is mainly composed of a light string and a fixing hook; the light string is formed by connecting light bulb and wire; the fixing hook is a fitting having a wire groove and a hook, and the hook is formed above the wire groove. According to a certain shape, the wires on the light string can be fixed in the wire trough, so that various styles of curtain lights can be assembled., and the whole curtain light can be hung on the frame of the window and door through the hook when in use, and with the light bulb on the light chain to achieve the effect of dressing up windows and doors.                             

Usage one of Curtain lights: decorative bedroom


In fact, curtain lights are generally made up of a combination of small light strings of different colors, so you can transform a lot of shapes, decorate in all aspects, you can choose a part of the curtain light string, hanging on both sides of bedroom curtains and bedroom door, the ceiling can also be combined with some romantic patterns, and if the light selection is softer, it must very beautiful when the advent of the night lights come on.                                                              

Usage two of Curtain lights: decorative bed


The curtain and the bed curtain have similar effect , it can be operated if your bed with a bedpost or a bed curtain, if all the light string of the curtain light are hung on the bed or mattress, or directly take the light as a curtain and it looks like a waterfall when turn it on at night .                                                                                                                                             

Usage three of Curtain lights: decorative wall surface


Curtain lights can be used to decorate walls, it is not only simply hanging on the wall as decoration, but also can be decorated with some murals or room structure,  even it can be combined into a pattern or letter and so on. It is convenient to operate and very innovative.                                                                                                                                                  

Usage four of Curtain lights: decorative windows


The curtain lights is playing a major role to decorate windows, but the new method certainly not an ordinary decoration, it not only can be decorated on the window frame, but also can use as curtain, and it can sew special pattern on the curtains, then a beautiful pattern will be appeared when you draw the curtain at night.                                                                              

Usage five of Curtain lights: decorative items


There are several kinds of items in the family unused and not pretty, and the key is that they are indispensable items. Such items are often incongruous in space and obtrusive, so you can use the curtain lights to decorate them, to wrap around them to create different scenery, like some toys can also be decorated.                                                                                        

Usage six of Curtain lights: decorative balcony


The monotonous balcony can also be very romantic. Choose star-shaped curtain light to decorate on the side of the balcony or on the balcony of the plant. Such a balcony is very special.
