SECTION 1: ABSTRACT:
Audio amplifiers play a pivotal role in Electronics and Communication Engineering, serving
as fundamental components in various systems, from personal audio devices to complex
communication networks. This abstract presents a comprehensive overview of the
importance of audio amplifiers in this field.
Firstly, audio amplifiers are indispensable in enhancing the quality and fidelity of audio
signals, ensuring optimal reproduction of sound across a wide range of frequencies. In
consumer electronics, such as smartphones, home entertainment systems, and portable
music players, audio amplifiers empower users to experience immersive audio
experiences with clarity and precision.

The audio preamp circuit:
2. Audio Preamplifier:
- The audio preamplifier serves as the intermediary stage between the microphone
and the power amplifier in a public address system.
- Its primary function is to amplify the weak electrical signals produced by the
microphone to a level suitable for further processing and amplification.
- Preamplifiers often provide controls for adjusting signal levels, such as gain and
volume, allowing operators to optimize audio levels according to the requirements of
the environment and the characteristics of the microphone.
- By preparing the audio signals for amplification while minimizing noise and
interference, the preamplifier plays a crucial role in ensuring clear and intelligible
audio reproduction in public address systems.
6
The Power amplifier circuit:
- Unlike the preamplifier, which focuses on boosting weak signals, the power
amplifier delivers sufficient power to the speakers to produce audible sound at the
desired volume levels.
- Power amplifiers come in various classes, including Class-A, Class-AB, and Class-
D, each offering different efficiency levels and performance characteristics suited for
specific applications.
- Class-AB amplifiers, for example, balances between efficiency and audio fidelity,
making them suitable for high-quality audio reproduction in public address systems,
concert venues, and professional audio setups.

For Any value above 4500Ω for 𝑹𝟏𝟎 the gain is very high, but the signal is clipped, and the audio is
distorted.

3.3 VOICE OUTPUT.
The output signal is a bit distorted due to the absence of any filtration
stage.
The output signal can be clipped if the input signal from the microphone
spiked too high.
