The single speaker amplifier circuit uses current feedback, rather than the more popular voltage feedback. The feedback loop is from the junction of the speaker terminal and a 0.5-0 resistor, to the inverting input of the NE5534. When the input to the.... -
The input is ac coupled to the amplifier through C2, which blocks de signals that might also be present at the input. The Rl/Cl combination forms a low-pass filter, which eliminates unwanted high-frequency signals by bypassing them to ground when they.... -
