HH Electronics

The company later moved to larger premises at Milton, Cambridgeshire, named the 'Dust Bowl' producing the first of the IC range of music amplifiers.

Instrumentation amplifier

Instrumentation amplifiers can be built with individual op-amps and precision resistors, but are also available in integrated circuit form from several manufacturers (including Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, Analog Devices, Linear Technology and Maxim Integrated Products).

Isolation amplifier

These amplifiers are also used for amplifying low-level signals in multi-channel applications.

Jeanne Sagan

She is a former Ibanez player, using both Soundgear 4-strings and an ARTB100 4-string, the latter of which can be seen in the music video for the song "Hold On" from the album For We Are Many. Jeanne currently uses Orange amplifiers and Omega speaker cabinets.

KT66

It was the standard output tube in the classic Quad II (1952, a version of which is still being manufactured today) and in the LEAK Type 15 (1945) and TL/12 (1948), both among the earliest British hi-fi amplifiers.

LEAK

During the 1950s and 60s, the company produced high-quality amplifiers, radio tuners, loudspeakers (the LEAK Sandwich), pickups, arms and a turntable.

Marshall Grant

In the early 1970s, he endorsed Micro-Frets instruments and Sunn amplifiers.

Mikko Paananen

Amp-wise, he has previously used Mesa Boogie Bass 400+ amplifiers with Mesa Boogie 4x10 and 2x15 cabinets, as well as Ampeg SVT amplifiers and cabinets.

Ming Da

They currently produce integrated tube amplifiers, tube preampliers, tube phono, tube power amplifiers and tube headphone amplifiers.

MTR Professional Audio

NAD Electronics

NAD focuses on the concept of "effective power" and its amplifiers make claims to deliver generous headroom, meaning that they may be able to deliver dynamic power bursts far in excess of their rated RMS power.

Onix Audio

Onix Audio started assembly of the ONIX brand of Onix hi-fi in Brighton England in 1984, two years after a small number of unlabeled and unbranded head amplifiers ( No brand Name printed on them or used ) had been sold to niche dealers in the UK by Craig Hill via Brighton HiFi where he worked with his father.

Peter Harold Cole

He obtained his PhD, under Ronald Ernest Aitchison, at the University of Sydney in 1964 with a thesis entitled Energy Exchange and Loss Properties of Ferrites for Parametric Amplifiers.

The Who's musical equipment

In 1965, Pete Townshend and John Entwistle were directly responsible for the creation and widespread use of Marshall amplifiers powering stacked speaker cabinets.

Tom the Great Sebastian

He was "widely regarded as the leading sound system of his day," and helped popularize dancehall music and sound system dance, aided in no small part by powerful amplifiers built by fellow DJ Hedley Jones.

Tube sound

Some enthusiasts, such as Nelson Pass, have built amplifiers using transistors and MOSFETs that operate in class A, including single ended, and these often have the "tube sound".

In 1982, Tom Scholz, a graduate of MIT and a member of Boston, introduced the Rockman, which used JFET/BJT-based operational amplifiers and diode-based clipping circuits, but achieved a distorted sound adopted by many well known musicians.

United Western Recorders

In 1970, Jack Herschorn purchased the Universal Audio mixing console and a number of other pieces of equipment from that studio including UA LA-76A and LA-76B limiting amplifiers, UA vacuum tube power amplifiers (which were actually Dynakit Stereo 70 and 50-watt mono amplifier kits assembled into rack-mount chassis), Fairchild Conax sibilance controllers, Langevin graphic equalizers and Cinema Engineering filters, all originally installed in United Studio A in 1957.
