AUDIO AMPLIFIERS
An audio amplifier is an electronic amplifier that amplifies low-power audio
signals (signals composed primarily of frequencies between 20 - 20 000 Hz, the human
range of hearing) to a level suitable for driving loudspeakers and is the final stage in a
typical audio playback chain. The preceding stages in such a chain are low power audio
amplifiers which perform tasks like pre-amplification, equalization, tone control,
mixing/effects, or audio sources like record players, CD players, and cassette players.
Most audio amplifiers require these low-level inputs to adhere to line levels. While the
input signal to an audio amplifier may measure only a few hundred microwatts, its
output may be tens, hundreds, or thousands of watts.

THE PROJECT PROTOTYPE
The audio amplifier is a device that can be seen in many places like home,
school, party halls and public places. The main purpose of the device is to provide
communication and entertainment. The main material and application for the audio
amplifier is the transistor which is mainly discussed in the Electronics 2 Laboratory. The
project prototype is a basic audio amplifier run with transistors as main components
without the use of integrated circuits. It should provide a sound output of 70 watts. The
voltage signal from the source will be amplified through the stages of the amplifier and
should output almost the same form with the input (no clipped portions of the
waveform). This project prototype should be etched by the students in their own printed
circuit board (PCB), and all together, must be enclosed in a presentable casing.
Universal PCBs are not allowed in this project.
