2 Watt Mini Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram

This is the circuit diagram of 2 Watt mini audio amplifier. This circuit is inexpensive, easy and quite simple. This is general audio amplifier which can be used for computer, CD player or other devices which have headphone output.

The circuit was deliberately designed using no ICs and in a rather old-fashioned manner in order to obtain good harmonic distortion behaviour and to avoid hard to find components. The amplifier(s) can be conveniently supplied by a 12V wall plug-in transformer. Closing SW1 a bass-boost is provided but, at the same time, volume control must be increased to compensate for power loss at higher frequencies.

In use, R9 should be carefully adjusted to provide minimal audible signal cross-over distortion consistent with minimal measured quiescent current consumption; a good compromise is to set the quiescent current at about 10-15 mA.

To measure this current, wire a DC current meter temporarily in series with the collector of Q3.
