Newb question

I was reading this thread: BPA300 mono block finished and measured

I can't seem to find much information to satisfy my curiosity about what a DC servo is in an amplifier.

Hi,
I am about to stir up a hornets nest.
The chipamp section are a lot of wallies.
If you want real information restrict most of your searches to solid state. That's where most of the knowledge lies.

Wait for it!

BTW.
a DC servo tries to cancel the output offset by measuring the DC on the output and applying a cancelation voltage to the input to minimise the output offset.
If components and values are selected well, the remaining offset can be held to less than 1mV for most conditions.

I have great respect for the forum members and how they help

each other. I do wish an experienced member could start a "New

to DIY section" to help welcome the inexperienced into the world

of DIY by answering questions, designing circuits as they do for

their peers, instead of being told; as they say

"Don't go away mad, just go away"

Thanks for the replies. Now I need to find some examples to get my head around the practical application of it.
