AUDIO ELECTRONICS I

Catalog description

This course grants students the opportunity to explore electronics with a focus on applications in audio. Fundamental concepts like Ohm’s Law, Joule’s Law, resistance, capacitance and AC rectification will be covered, followed by basic transistor, operational amplifier (op amp) and vacuum tube circuits. The course will also visit resonant circuits and filters, transformers, and impedance. Hands-on skills like soldering, breadboarding and circuit simulation will culminate in an individual project in which students will assemble a microphone cable or instrument cable and their choice of microphone or guitar effects pedal from a kit.
