60W POWER AMPLIFIER CLASS B CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

60W POWER AMPLIFIER CLASS B CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Capacitor C1 regulates the low frequencies (bass), as the capacitance grows, the low frequencies are getting louder. Capacitor C2 regulates the higher frequencies (treble), as the capacitance grows, the higher frequencies are getting quieter.

This is a class B amplifier, this means, that a current must flow through the end transistors, even if there is no signal on the input. This current can be regulated with the 500 Ohm trimmer resistor. As this current increases, the sound of the amplifier is better, but output transistors are dispatching more heat. If the current is decreased, the transistors are dispatching less heat, but the sound quality is decreased.
