By Harriett Crosby


Amplifiers are electronic devices that are commonly used in audio equipment such as home theater systems and car sound system to amplify the amplitude of input signals that are passed through them. They are classified into three groups namely: transresistance, transconductance, voltage and current amps. Continued use of these electronic devices for a long time will cause them wear and tear gradually to the point where amplifier repair services become inevitable. Whether it is repairing or replacing you need, is determined by the extent of the problem.

There are other instances when your amp will suddenly turn on and off when it becomes hot. Spontaneous failure is associated with counterfeit power transistors. Inadequate heat sinking causes the component to overheat. The problem is with the gain sensitivity can be solve by changing these components.

Overheated amps tend to lower the sound of the system. Installing a cooling fan will help in solving this problem. However if the sound persists being low if after installing the fan, then further diagnosis of the system is required. An electrician should perform this.
