The present invention relates to a modulator for a digital amplifier and a device comprising such a modulator and a digital amplifier.The modulator (100) comprises a pulse shaper (110) and a control unit (120) for controlling the pulse shaper (110) to convert an input signal into a bit stream (130) configured for a digital amplifier which encodes an amplitude value per clock of a carrier signal. The pulse shaper (110) can represent a respective amplitude value of the input signal with different bit patterns. The bit pattern respectively used by the pulse shaper is determined by the control unit (120) by means of a corresponding, associated control command. The modulator (100) is characterized in that in the control unit (120) an assignment (160) of the control commands to associated amplitude values resulting from amplification of the associated bit patterns with the digital amplifier (400) is stored or at least is provided in that the control unit (120) selects a control command per clock by means of the assignment (160) and the amplitude value of the input signal and drives the pulse shaper (110) accordingly.
