What Is the NE5534? Low-Noise Audio Op-Amp and Uses
The NE5534 is a low-noise, high-performance single-channel audio op-amp. It is the single-channel sibling of the NE5532; used in professional audio circuits like mixers, preamps and studio gear. It may need an external compensation capacitor for high stability; use the NE5532 for dual channels. It is not rail-to-rail.
The NE5534 is a low-noise, high-performance single-channel audio op-amp. It is the single-channel sibling of the NE5532; a classic of professional audio (mixers, preamps, studio) circuits. For the concept, see what is an op-amp.
What is the NE5534 used for?
Microphone/line preamps, active filters, buffers and precise analog audio stages needing low noise. With its low noise and low distortion it is preferred in hi-fi and professional audio equipment.
Specifications
