POWER AMPLIFIER 

The

prising  transistors  Q12*  and 

*,  with  QlO  and 

as  their  drivers. 

point 

is 

provided 

resistors R5* and R6* and by currents 

from  current  source  Q8 

through 

CR9,  R22,  CR8  and  CR6. The power diodes  CRI * 

and  CR2*  shunt  R5*  and  R6*  at 

signal levels 

to  avoid 

voltage  drops  in  these  resistors. 

Inductance  L1 *  protects  the  output 

from 

the  effects  of 

cable  loads  at  very 

while  R8*  eliminates  any  series  reson­

ance with this capacity. Diodes 

CR12 

and  CR13  provide  output  current  limitation.  To-

with  fuses  F*  these 

output  short 

circuit 

The  output  stages  are  driven 

emitter  follower 

which  has  current  limita-

tion  in  the  collector. 

The  input 

consists  of  a  differential pair, 

and  Q2,  whose emitter currents are  supplied by 

The  input  signal  is  applied  to  the  base  of  Ql 

and  the  feedback  to  the  base  of  Q2.  The  output 

collector  swing  of  Ql is limited 

CR2  and  CR3 

to 

the  emitter-base junctions of the second 

and  Q7. 

The 

at  d-c  and  low 

is 

(  > 

100  dB).  The  primary  cutoff 

at 

frequencies  is  the  base-

Thus  the  loop 

falls  at  6  dB/octave  to  reach  a  value  of  about  60 

dB  at  10  kHz.  Inductors  Ll  and  L2  introduce  a 
second  pole  at  16  kHz  above  which  the 

gain 

falls  at  12  dB/octave  to  about  200 

where 

C6  begins  to  shunt  Rl6 

end cut-

off  in  the  amplifier  and  reducing  the  loop 

cutoff  rate  to  6 

once  more.  Gain 

crossover  is  at  about  1  MHz. 

The  bridged-T  comprising  C3, 

Rll,  and 

R12  increases  the 

below  16  Hz  and 

reduces  the  external 

at  d-c.  The 

are 

complex  so 

the  low  end  response  rises 

at  the  low  end 

before  dropping  off.  In  the  bass-boost  position 
C7  and  C8 

with  Rl6  and  R17  produce 

a pole  at  16  Hz and a zero  at 80 Hz in  the external 

most 

Thus  the  gain  rises  at  6 

below  80 

for  the  low  end  roll-off  of
