High Performance Audio Power Amplifiers

System of presentation

To write in depth and breadth about audio power amplifiers, many special terms are required, from disparate disciplines. Many of these are italicised when initially introduced, and most are translated or defined in the Glossary. If an unfamiliar word appears, look there. To ease reader’s immediate comprehension, occasional terms have been briefly clarified or explained parenthetically (in brackets).

References appear at chapter ends, ideally numbered in the order in which they first appear in the chapter. ‘Further Reading’ then lists apposite literature that is not specifically cited, as it is either incidental or else so germane that it would be referred to throughout that chapter.
