Audio Amplifier

his circuit is an audio amplifier consisting of two stages of amplification. The 741 operational amplifiers is used as a pre-amplifier whose gain is controlled by its feedback resistor R2. The 386 is a generalpurpose power amplifier used as the output driver for delivering power to the speaker. The volume of the speaker may be controlled via resistor R3. A 0.1 F bypass capacitor must be placed across the power supply to reduce the noise. The value of R2 must be chosen well to prevent oscillation or distortion.
