* We will use the OpAmp (=operational amplifier) to amplify the small signals from our microphones to usable and less noisy signals before we digitize them in the computer. The opamp (= operational amplifier) is a three port device and its circuit diagram is a triangle. It has a positive and a negative input terminal and an output terminal. The most basic opamp circuit is the "comparator". | * We will use the OpAmp (=operational amplifier) to amplify the small signals from our microphones to usable and less noisy signals before we digitize them in the computer.

* the opamp's output can also directly follow one of its input voltages, but providing more current. This is the basis building block of opamp based amplifiers and is called "voltage follower" or "buffer". | * the opamp's output can also directly follow one of its input voltages, but providing more current.
