About Amplifiers products

Home audio amplifiers are a great way to increase the output of your audio system. They can be used with any electronic device including computers and smartphones. The most common type of amplifier is a dynamic speaker amplifier, which uses a microphone to convert the sound signal into an electrical signal that can be amplified. ArchiPro features some of the best amplifier options in New Zealand for various needs, an important part of a wider range of high-quality home audio products.

Amplifiers are great for boosting the signal of your speakers to ensure you get better-quality sound. They are always best paired with high-quality speakers to achieve optimal audio results. If you want to dramatically improve your home audio experiences, ArchiPro features the best amplifiers in New Zealand from leading brands and suppliers you can trust.

Types of amplifiers

There are a few different types of amplifiers in New Zealand, each with its own qualities and traits.

Voltage amplifier

This amplifier uses input voltage to produce the output used to drive speakers. They’re ideal if you want to power speakers without worrying about power consumption.

Current amplifier

This amplifier is ideal to power speakers that can handle high volumes and provide more accurate sound quality than voltage-integrated amplifiers.

Power amplifier

Power amplifiers are designed especially for use with subwoofers or other equipment that require a strong power supply.

The advantages of high-quality amplifiers

High-quality home audio amplifiers will sound better than cheaper models because they have more power and less distortion. If you're getting an amplifier, you want to make sure that it's good enough to handle the volume that you want to experience. This will ensure the sound you hear is clear and crisp. High-quality amplifiers typically come from reputable brands with years of experience delivering superb sound in a variety of applications and environments. They also have the knowledge required to advise how to best use the amplifiers so you can get the most out of them once they’re installed and beyond.

How to choose an amplifier that's right for you

Choosing an amplifier in New Zealand means keeping a few things in mind before your final decision is made. Power is one of the most important things to consider because it determines how much volume your product will be able to produce. You need to also think about your audio system as a whole as some components may not be compatible or perform at an optimal level with others. If you don't have any speakers yet, you should invest in good-quality ones that pair well with your amplifier. Looking at additional features, like the quality of the accompanying app, is also a good way to differentiate options from one another.

 

How much power does an amplifier use?

When you're ready to get your hands on a new amplifier, it's important to understand how much power they'll use. An amplifier speaker with a 100-watt power rating will consume 25 watts of power in the hour. A 500-watt amp will use around 125 watts each hour.

Should an amplifier be more powerful than the speakers?

An amplifier can help you make up for a weak speaker by boosting its output, but it won't do much for a particularly loud amplifier speaker. It's better to just keep trying to find a pair of speakers that work for your room and system.

Does an amplifier increase bass?

An amplifier increases the base of a signal. The base is the amount of power in a signal that causes it to ring, or vibrate. An amplifier increases the base of a signal because it allows more power to be drawn from the source and sent through its output.
