Power Output and Power Dissipation in Class B Transistor Amplifiers

Authors: Hartz, Ralph S.; Kamp, Frederick S.

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 16 · Issue 1 · pp. 38–44 · January 1968

Abstract

This paper considers the effect of power supply regulation on the music power/continuous power ratio, transistor and overall system economics, and the subjective ability of a Class B amplifier to reproduce program material. In addition, attention is focused on the presently used music power rating. A rating is proposed which better defines the ability of an amplifier to reproduce program material.
