This four-piece seminar-series is meant to teach some of the underlying principles of audio-amplification, frequency-filtering and signal-processing that apply to amplifiers, guitar stompboxes and microphone preamps. During this course you will be introduced to the fundamental building blocks of analog circuits (resistors, capacitors, transistors and op-amps), learn how to distinguish circuit-building blocks and how to apply some simple calculators for frequency-filtering. Lastly, we'll dissect some schematics to understand the function of each and every component. The workshop will conclude with a 'practical' involving the building of your own DIY distortion- or fuzz pedal, for which kits will be supplied. The supply of these is limited, so make sure you sign up timely.

-Basic knowledge of electronics is useful, but I'll try to accommodate all attendees -Some mathematics might be introduced, but they'll be approached from a pragmatists' perspective


Part 2. (Wednesday 19:00 - 21:00 --- 20/06/2018---) Time to get into some real electronics here. We’ll be introduced to the basic drawing elements and shapes of circuits and take a look at the principal components of analog circuits: Resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors. With the latter, some basic equations will (have to) be introduced / recapitulated. With our knowledge of peripheral components, we’ll introduce the Operational Amplifier and review the usage of these so-called OPAMPS in audio circuits.
