Circuit description of 70/40 watts hi-fi amplifier

The 40/70 watts amplifier circuit is built around transistor, configured in various modes. The single to be amplified is given to base of transistor T1 configured as differential amplifier with T2. Transistor T3 is used to maintain the current of differential amplifier.

Transistor  T4 with T5 forms a cascaded pair derived by Transistor  T1. For better result Transistor  T6 and T7 again configured as cascaded pair and provide constant current source  to cascade pair T4 and T5 in this amplifier circuit.

Temperature coefficient of Transistor s T10 and t11 is compensated by Transistor  T8 and T9 which act like diodes. Transistor T10 with T12 & T14 and Transistor  T11 with T13 & T15 form a triple Darligton pairs.

The current through T4 and T5 is kept at a value of this output of this circuit consists of triple Darlington pair. The small change in the Vbe of T10 & T11 changes output current of hi-fi amplifier greatly.

In order to prevent distortion in the 40/70 watts hi-fi amplifier when capacitive loads are connected to the output, coil L1 is used to prevent DC voltage across the speaker and is connected in series to speaker. The total gain amplifier circuit is approximate 32 and is value is calculated by (R7 + R8)/R8.
