AMPLIFIER:
A
device
capable
of
increasing
the
magnitude
or
power
level
of
a
voltage
or
current
that
is
varying
with
time
(frequency),
without
distorting
the
wave
form
of
the
signal.
The
amplifier
Is,
just
as
the
word
implies,
a
signal
amplifier.
The
incoming
signal
from
any
program
material
source
is
far
too
weak
to
power
a
speaker

and
strengthen
Ittothenecessary
power
level
to
operate
the
loudspeakers
