Performance Technology Tasks

The Build Your Own Amplifier Task

Build your own amplifier...

There are any number of alternatives here. And you don't have to do this, you could choose to buy some small speakers, or use some you already have, but this is an option.

There are a number of projects here.

Or have a go at this.

Alternatively, you can have a go at the following from Make magazine:

• Download this zip file and unzip it.
• Follow the instructions. You'll need some components. To obtain Radio Shack parts in the UK, try http://www.digiteltechnology.co.uk/index.php. (Radio Shack are stockists of components usually used by contributors to Make Magazine.)

The Projects

The projects and tasks are designed to help you through the various courses and materials that you'll have to deal with, and also to provide an active and practical element to what could otherwise become a rather dry and technical exercise. Tasks are small exercises - you may be asked to complete one or two per week. Projects are larger and carry a higher percentage of the mark. We will undertake two, three, four or more projects and tasks. The final project is usually an individual choice project, and will be worth significantly more than the others in terms of percentages in your portfolio. We will usually try to set aside a time to perform the projects in a public setting.
