Analogue Voltage Controlled Amplifiers/Attenuators (VCAs): A Gentle Introduction

Our colleagues at the Audio Engineering Sociey have asked if we would advertise one of their forthcoming events. If you are interested in audio engineering, then please take a look at the link below. Yo will need to book a place via rge link to get a valid Zoom link,

The purpose of this talk is to introduce you to the many weird and wonderful ways this was done in the past. Our speaker Professor Jamie Angus-Whiteoak will start with a quick look at the VCA family tree and then go through the different main approaches. Explaining how each method works and discussing their limitations and problems, as well as some solutions to those problems. We will also discuss how these limitations interacted with the design of circuits that used them and show examples of each one in use. Intriguingly this will cover some classic bits of audio processing “gear”!
The presentation will be accessible and will not require any deep knowledge of either devices or circuits, but should give you a good overview of how analogue VCAs work and give such legendary results.
