supply pin currents are half wave-rectified TR103 provides a 4.7v bias voltage to allow versions of the drive current of the amplifier. the following pre-driver stage to operate in This causes the voltage gain, which is buffered Class A. and passed on to the outputs. The feedback from pin 1 of IC101 acts to reduce the gain of the TR123 and TR125 form a Class A pre-driver amplifier;...

Protection circuit block RTH100 is low when the amplifier is cool typically a few hundred ohms, in the event of a The P1 Power amplifier incorporates 4 modes of thermal overload situation (Above 110 c) protection these are as follows.
0.05% THD+N TLO 72 Bias setting notes The bias of the P1 is set using an Audio precision audio analysis package and we calibrate the power stage for minimum THD the bench set up procedure follows.
