Performing Measurements on the EB-TA2022 Version 4.0
The TA2022 operates by generating a high frequency switching signal based on the audio input. This
signal is sent through a low-pass filter that recovers an amplified version of the audio input. The
frequency of the switching pattern is spread spectrum in nature and typically varies between 100kHz
and 1MHz, which is well above the 20Hz – 20kHz audio band. The pattern itself does not alter or
distort the audio input signal, but it does introduce some inaudible components.
The measurements of certain performance parameters, particularly noise related specifications such
as THD+N, are significantly affected by the design of the low-pass filter used on the output as well as
the bandwidth setting of the measurement instrument used. Unless the filter has a very sharp roll-off
just beyond the audio band or the bandwidth of the measurement instrument is limited, some of the
inaudible noise components introduced by the TA2022 amplifier switching pattern will degrade the
measurement by including out of band (audio) energy.
One feature of the TA2022 is that it does not require large multi-pole filters to achieve excellent
performance in listening tests, usually a more critical factor than performance measurements.
Though using a multi-pole filter may remove high-frequency noise and improve THD+N type
measurements (when they are made with wide-bandwidth measuring equipment), these same filters
degrade frequency response. The EB-TA2022 has a simple two-pole output filter with excellent
performance in listening tests.
