General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

RE: They are there nevertheless.


It appears that the transformers in this are part of the rectifier and are not for the final audio output, unlike a conventional tube audio amplifier.

As I understand it, the Berning design is the closest analog to a Class D transistor amplifier. There is a high frequency power 'carrier', which is modulated by the signal.

"It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an amplifier that eliminates the traditional output transformer. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an amplifier that is optimally matched in impedance to the load. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an amplifier that enjoys the sought-after transfer characteristics that tubes possess, which seem to influence the subjective qualities of the amplifier."
