The Resistor That Saved the Concert
Jun 24.2025
It was the night of the biggest concert of the year, and the sound system was failing. The lead guitarist's amp was cutting out, and the crowd was getting restless. The sound technician, Mike, was in a panic. He knew the issue was in the power supply, but he couldn't pinpoint the problem.
Then, he remembered the NTE Electronics 1W147 470-Ohm Metal Composition Resistors he had in his toolkit. Known for their reliability and precision, these resistors were his go-to for quick fixes. With no time to spare, Mike replaced the faulty resistor in the amp's power supply with one from the pack.
The moment he powered it back on, the amp roared to life, clearer and more powerful than before. The concert was saved, and the band played one of their best sets ever, all thanks to a small but mighty component.
