Motorola Hi-Fi Power Amplifier PDF

This document describes the Motorola Hi-Fi power amplifier project. It can be built in 5 configurations ranging from 20W to 80W RMS output. The author notes that the transistors must be well-matched, with an hfe disagreement of less than 30%. The input should be shorted and output current tuned to minimize DC offset before first use. The author was pleased with the sound quality of the amplifier.

Motorola Hi-Fi power amplifier


author: Jacint Chapo

This is a very simple, low cost, Hi-Fi quality power amplifier. You can build it 5 ways, like it s shown in the table (from 20 W to 80 W
RMS).

Some comments:
- The first thing that you must do, is to measure the end transistors (T3 and T4) amplifying coefficient, the hfe or β. If their
disagreement is bigger than 30 %, the amplifier would not give a clear sound. I used MJ3001 and MJ2501 transistors, and this
disagreement was around 5%.
- Before the first turning on you must short circuit the inputs of the amp, and put a mA-meter on the output, than turn the amplifier
on, and tune the R13 pot, to decrease the DC current on the output, to some uA-s, or in a lucky situation to zero. I was able to
decrease it to 10 uA.

I am very contented with this amplifier. It gives a very good sound quality.
Have fun with it!
