2N3055 amplifier circuit, 30w OCL integrated amp with PCB

When a friend of mine wanted The integrated amplifier that is smaller. For listening in a small room. Must have good the sound quality. Low noise and cheap.

I often recommend this project 2N3055 amplifier circuit diagram is a featured there are power 30 watts RMS. Using all transistors. Do not select the IC Because my friends do not like. Bored find that the ICs difficult. And he has a lot of power transistor. want to return conserve valuable antiques are and timeless.

If a will is comparing prices. Watt power and the sound quality well. Had to cede This 30 watts OCL amplifier projects This that. Actually superior because the circuit design is really perfect.

How this project works

As will see Figure 1 that they composed of the most 2 parts are:
1. The tone control circuit
2. The power amplifier circuit

To begin with, the tone control section is determined as the feedback tone control type. Which is popular extensively at this time.

Then, you can adjust the bass sound up to +18dB at frequency 100Hz. And, can adjust the treble sound up to +18dB at frequency 10Khz.

In power amplifier circuit, you will see that input circuit is connected to differential amplifier type. To control the output of this circuit is zero volts. By using the feedback at the base of Q4 through the R16.

The gain of this circuit is R16/R15. Then, the signal from the collector of Q3 will pass to the base of Q6. Which, Q6 acts as pre-driver to amplifiers signal to the driver circuit that consists of Q5, Q7.

In setting, the last output section is determined by forming the Quasi-Complimentary. So, the saving than the direction the pair complimentary. Then, we use both 2N3055 transistors are pair output Q8, Q9.

How to builds the circuit

• First of all, Build the PCB as Figure 2 and assemble correctly the components layout for the PCB as Figure 3.
• Second, does not connect the power transistors Q8, Q9
• Third, use the voltmeter set range DC Volt is 50 volts and then measures the voltage across between TP point compare with the ground. But must short circuit for the input to the ground before.

• Next, connect power to this project Observed meter needle that reverses or not, if error to must switch the test leads immediately.
• Then, adjust the potentiometer VR5 until the voltage is zero volts. You should reduce the range of meter to lower respectively, until the lowest, with the certainty that can read really is zero.
• Then, insert correctly the output transistor to this project.
• The main DC power supply of this project is + 24 volts up to 2 amperes. So, we use the transformer that has secondary coil is 18-0-18V at 2 amperes. Next, passing the bridge rectifier circuit and filter capacitors. Then, we will have the results as the DC volts + 24 volts for this circuit.
• Next, The filter capacitor- should have over 4700uF 50V as characteristics the standard power supply circuit that uses in normal.
