ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This is the third installment in a series on Basic Electronics for Recording Engineers. This episode focuses on equalizers and amplifiers. Why do we call them equalizers? And amplifiers are at the heart of every piece of audio gear, even if we don’t usually recognize them as such.
I discuss different approaches to designing an equalizer. And cover the concepts of amplification from the original vacuum tube circuits, through transistors, and then to opamps. Opamps make large format consoles possible, and they are at the heart of almost every audio device in your studio.

Creating software plugin versions of actual hardware is challenging. Acustica did a superb job of creating a plugin version of the D.W. Fearn VT-5 Stereo Equalizer several years ago, called Ruby. And now MixWave has done the same for the VT-7 Compressor.

The chain of equipment between the recording artist and the listener is long and complex. Every piece of gear, from the microphone to the listener’s speaker or headphones, has the potential to be the weakest link in this chain.
In this episode, I go through every major link in the …

Music relies on technology, and music recording is entirely dependent on electronics technology. You don’t need to be electronics engineer to record, but some basic knowledge of electricity and electronics can be useful to any recording engineer.
When something doesn’t work as expe…
