This audio amplifier circuit delivers up to 200 W of top-class quality for loudspeaker from 4 to

16 ohm. Operating voltage is between 24 and 36 V, max 5 A. The frequency response is from 20
to 20000 Hz.
Please take special care that the transistors and the IC’s have been fixed firmly and solely one or
two separated cooling elements with sufficient dimensions for this purpose (thermal resistance <
1K/W).
Doing so it is necessary to mount the transistors and the IC’s insulated (with mica washes and
plastic nipple). Please make sure before first operation that the transistors and the IC’s really do
not have any electrical connection towards the cooling plate! The transistors have to be placed
plane and firmly onto the cooling element! It is of extraordinary importance with this high-power
amplifier that there is a considerable heat dissipation. The already mounted cooling element
should be situated in a well ventilated case.

The PSU should be sufficiently powerful, power consumption of the amplifier may increase up
to 5A. In case of using an un-stabilized power supply. It is advisable to place a transformer of
max 28V.

The amplifier will the show approx. 120W at a 4-Ohm loudspeaker, for it no-load voltage of the
power supply will not be to high. If it is desired to use complete power, it is necessary to place a
stabilized power supply with approx. 36V 5A. No-load voltage should not pass over 44V!
The cables leading the current supply and to the loudspeakers should have at least a cross section
of min. 1.5 mm^2. The connected loud speaker have to be equipped according to the high output
power and should not have a lower impedance as 4 Ohm! With lower connection impedance and
short circuit within the loudspeaker wiring, the transistors will be destructed.

The amplifier has an input sensitivity of approx. 500 … 800 mV. Therefore, it is possible to
connect directly at the amplifier tape decks, tuners, etc. In case there are connected signal
sources with lower output voltage, it is necessary to pre-connect a preamplifier. Then it will also
be possible to connect microphones, etc.
