The mini hi-fi and use them as the main stereo system, we must not forget that a good system for listening to music is quite different: enough listen to one of the commercial products not just on the shop counter but also in a domestic environment, to realize that it sounds badly, that he is missing something. Unfortunately, precisely because currently traditional hi-fi are cassettes, CD player, tuner)

If necessary, adjust RV1 until a value of about 14 millivolts, which correspond to an absorption of the circuit of the order of 30 mA. Remove tension and remove the tester and short circuit at the entrance: the amplifier is ready for use.

The two elements of power in question they are darlington integrated, that is, each of them contains two bipolar transistors of the same polarity in configuration darlington: common collectors and the emitter of the first connected at the base of the second. Those of us employed are TIP142 and TIP147, respectively NPN and PNP and constitute a complementary couple; the choice stems from the high earnings
in current than a darlington can give and that allows us to simplify the amplifier while saving a pair of transistor drivers otherwise necessary to give to basics of common BJT the necessary current. Each of our elements guarantees a gain in current (hFE) of at least 1,000 to 4 volts of Vce and 5 A of collector current; also supports Vce in 100 V interdiction (and that is fully compatible with our needs, since the circuit works with a total of 80 volts) e a current of 10 A, dissipating a maximum of 125 W at 150 ° C temperature junction.

Darlington Transistor Amplifier Circuit Schematic

Once assembly is complete, it is necessary calibrate the amplifier: for the purpose short-circuit the entry points and bring the trimmer cursor to half stroke; connect to the circuit on secondary of a transformer from 120 ÷ 150VA 2x28VAC or 2x30VAC: the extremes go to the AC points and the socket to AC0, otherwise you risk not watch the amplifier work. After that, with a tester ready to the measurement of direct voltages with full scale of 2 ÷ 5 volts read the tension across the resistance R19 or R20: in the first case to the electrode connected to the output goes the negative tip; In the second, the positive one.
