A Class A // Class AB amplifier rated 100 Watts when driving a 4 ohm loudspeaker. This circuit developed out of my 30+ years of JLH class-A based investigations. The original `simple` 1969 JLH class-A design provided excellent first cycle accuracy through.... -
Both halves of the circuit are identical. Both inputs have a dc path to ground via the input 47k control which should be a dual log type potentiometer. The balance control is a single 47k linear potentiometer, which at center adjustment prevents even.... -

The audio amplifier shown below provides 14 watts of power, but can provide much more simply by increasing the power supply voltage. This amp was built in 1975 and has worked reliably ever since. The power amp portion was published in Popular Electronics in.... -
The amplifier is capable of delivering around 1.5W into 8 ohm headphones, and 2.2W into 32 ohms - this is vastly more than will ever be needed in practice. The use of a 120 Ohm output resistor is recommended, as this is supposed to be the standard source.... -
The primary advantage of this method of bridging is that no additional components are needed (which means that it is cheap), and there is no signal degradation from additional opamps in the circuit path. The results are at least as good as using an external.... -
This design for a headphone amplifier arose after the purchase of commercial equipment with separate pre and power amplifiers without a headphone output. Its advantages are ... * low output impedance to drive several pairs of phones * the active.... -
The capacitors needed for the power supply are massive to try to get rid of hum, and massive means expensive. The "improved" Zen is a little better, since it uses an inductor (or choke) in the supply - obviously the hum drove someone mad. Inductors are.... -
"Class A" refers to configuring an amplifier so that its output devices remain turned on all the time. This reduces thermal variation and eliminates crossover distortion, which makes the chip perform better. To bias an op-amp into class A, you simply put a.... -
Very simple and useful circuit for amplify the stereo signals .The circuit dissipates roughly 28 watts of heat, so a good heatsink is necessary. The chip should run cool enough to touch with the proper heatsink installed .the circuit operates at 12 Volts at.... -
This circuits allows you to use a cheap loudspeaker as a microphone. Sound waves reaching the speaker cone cause fluctuations in the voice coil. The voice coil moving in the speakers magnetic field will produce a small electrical signal. The circuit is.... -
This simple 20 watts audio power amplifier is designed for home-brewed purpose. The L1 should be able to handle a current up to 4A to drive speaker in full load. The distortion is 0.015% @ 1KHz / 20W. This circuit is protected for AC and DC short circuits to.... -
This simple 10 watts audio power amplifier is designed for home-brewed purpose. It is based on an Audio Power Amplifier IC that is called TDA2030. It is a monolithic integrated circuit in Pentawatt package, intended for use as a low frequency class AB.... -
This circuit is a mono audio amplifier that will boost low frequencies as you see at the frequency response. The circuit is suitable for driving a subwoofer speaker for example. The output power of the circuit is about 1 Watt with a 4-ohm speaker. .. -
This is a low watt audio amplifier with a different technique in design. The 1.8K resistor has been connected to output of the circuit instead of VCC line. The output power of the circuit is about 250mW on an 8 ohms small speaker... -
The input stage is an LF351 op amp which provides most of the open loop gain as well as stabilizes the quiescent dc voltage. This feeds a level shift stage which references the voltage swing to the (-) rail. The transconductance stage is a darlington, to.... -
Simple and low cost. The optimal supply voltage is around 50V, but this amp work from 30 to 60V. The maximal input voltage is around 0.8 - 1V. As you can see, in this design the components have a big tolerance, so you can build it almost of the components,.... -

Can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape recorders. Simply add a 10K Log potentiometer (dual gang for stereo) and a switch to cope with the various sources you need. Output power: well in excess of 25Watt RMS @ 8 Ohm (1KHz sinewave).... -
Completed STK465 is an amplifier of acoustic frequencies that offers qualitative output, using minimal exterior elements. Substantially he is one of big completed force. Has a line pins and incorporated metal surface for adaptation in cooler. The provision.... -
This design adopts a well established circuit topology for the power amplifier, using a single-rail supply of about 60V and capacitor-coupling for the speaker(s). The advantages for a guitar amplifier are the very simple circuitry, even for comparatively.... -
This is a handy, easy to build general purpose 50 watt amp. The amp has an input for a radio, TV, stereo or other line level device. It also has a phono input for a record player, guitar, microphone or other un-amplified source. With the addition of a low.... -
This is a very simple, low cost, Hi-Fi quality power amplifier. You can build it 5 ways, like its shown in the table (from 20 W to 80 W RMS). The first thing that you must do, is to measure the end transistors (T3 and T4) amplifying coefficient, the hfe or.... -
You will need to go to extremes with the heatsink (fan cooling is highly recommended). It was originally intended for "light" intermittent duty, suitable for an equalised subwoofer system (for example using the ELF principle - see the Project Page for the.... -
The EDFET drives like a FET, but with the bias stability of bipolar. Amps of output current can be controlled by milliamps of input current. The current gain is a design choice dictated by bandwidth. Two of things you have to consider when adding a power....
