The 40W transistor audio amplifier circuit OCL 2N3055+MJ2955 is easy to build,and very inexpensive. To use Power Supply +35V -35V 2A. Transistor 2N3055+MJ2955 must be mounted on heatsink. Can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape recorders.

This circuit is one that stands out for ages over 40 years, with sound quality that is hard to find compared be other circuits. If you experimental build or ask people who try already built. Will believe that this is not as exaggerated statement more than true.

This power amplifier series circuit, be able to output of up to 40 watt on load 8 ohm, and will provide output capacity of up to 60 watt load 4 ohm.
The circuit design an All complementary all direct coupling (except the input), Making low frequency response of the circuit well.

Figure 1 :The OCL 40W transistor audio amplifier circuit  using 2N3055+MJ2955

The transistor(MPS9632) Q1, Q2 together to as a differential amplifier, By has R10,R4 and C2 together constitute the feed back circuit and defined an all gain ratio of circuit. At emitter circuit has zener diode is connected as maintain a constant voltage 15V.

The transistor Q5 is the part second amplifier circuit, by has C3 is to feedback between pin base and collector, for prevent procreation oscillator way high frequency

Q8,Q9 acting as the driver circuit to drives the power transistor Q10(MJ2955),Q11(2N3055).
For Q6, Q7 acts as the output transistor protection circuit from damage. Because the current flowing through the load too much such as a speaker cable short-circuited, by will acts as short the bias circuit of the output transistor is reduced so that it not works.

Q3 serves limit current, the general bootstrapped circuit that use the RC. for Q4 acts as setting bias level of the output transistor which which be instead Diodes same the normal amplifier circuit. This connection reduces the crossover distortion as well.
VR1 serves as to adjust a bias voltage the idle current to the circuit.

PCB 40W Amp OCL 2N3055+MJ2955

Customization this circuit.
When this project is done, not to the speaker cable, adjust VR1 at the center. And then power supply to the circuit, to measure at output point as the loud speaker with the ground Should be less than 0V or 0.1V.

Then uses the voltmeter to measure the voltage across R17, as with adjust the VR1 slowly until you read 0.01V Or may be adjusted by measuring the Idle current is about 15-30mA.
And then, connect the speakers, and input single to use work immediately.
