Circuit Notes:
  • This circuit dual polarity power supply to supply the amplifier.
  • This audio amplifier can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape recorders. Just add a 10K Log potentiometer (dual gang for stereo) along with a switch to cope using the different sources you need.
  • Q6 and Q7 must have a small U-shaped heatsink.
  • Q8 and Q9 must be mounted on heatsink.
  • Adjust R11 to set quiescent current at 100mA (best measured with an multimeter connected in series to Q8 Drain) with no input signal.
  • A correct grounding is very important to eliminate hum and ground loops. Connect to the same point the ground sides of R1, R4, R9, C3 to C8. Connect C11 to output ground. Then connect separately the input and output grounds to power supply ground.
