Douglas Self has established straightforward but highly effective
amplifier design techniques based on sound engineering principles
and experimental data. His rigorous and thoroughly practical
approach has established him as a leading authority on audio
amplifier design.
Douglas studied engineering at Cambridge University, then
psychoacoustics at Sussex University. He has spent many years
working at the top level of design in both the professional audio
and hifi industries, and has taken out a number of patents in the
field of audio technology. He currently acts as a consultant
engineer in the field of audio design.
