Purifi Audio Unveils Investigation About Hysteresis Distortion

Purifi Audio, the Danish company founded by Bruno Putzeys, Lars Risbo, and Peter Lyngdorf together with a remarkable engineering team, promises Class D amplifiers with record-breaking performance (as well as speakers). Now, Bruno Putzeys made available a detailed report of his investigation on hysteresis distortion, which motivated the development of the company's products. As Putzeys describes, hysteresis in the ferromagnetic material of the amplifier output filter coil is what causes "a recognizable grainy texture in the sound."
