LM4562 Dual High-Performance, High-Fidelity Audio Operational Amplifier
The LM4562 is a premium dual operational amplifier highly sought after by audiophiles, DIY builders, and audio equipment upgraders. Originally developed by National Semiconductor, it features exceptional high-speed and remarkably low noise characteristics, coupled with an ultra-low total harmonic distortion (THD). When integrated into an audio circuit, the LM4562 delivers precision, accuracy, detail, and timing, resulting in a perfectly clean and highly dynamic soundstage.

Package Options and Installation
To ensure maximum compatibility across a wide range of projects, the LM4562 is available as an 8-pin surface-mount device (SMD) or an 8-pin dual in-line (DIL) package. This means it seamlessly suits modern SMD circuit board designs as well as traditional solder-in or socketed retrofit upgrades in existing equipment.
Important Voltage Warning:
The LM4562 has a strict maximum absolute supply voltage rating of ±17V. Please carefully measure and ensure your circuit's supply voltages do not exceed this limit before installation to prevent permanent damage to the component.
Ideal Applications:
- CD, DVD, and SACD player output stage upgrades.
- High-fidelity DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter) output buffers.
- Premium computer soundcards and studio audio interfaces.
- ADC (Analogue-to-Digital Converter) input buffers.
- Active low-distortion audio filters and crossovers.
- High-end headphone amplifiers and pre-amplifiers.
- Mixed gain stages in studio mixing consoles.
