If you want a 50W OCL main amplifier circuit, high quality and save money. You can use it to amplify the normal sound in the home. At the level of pleasant sound power. It was the first amplifier circuits that I created. Also, we will see this circuit in a generally affordable amplifier.
Because it has fewer components, transistors-2N3055-MJ2955, a low noise IC-LF351, a few parts. You can buy easily.
If compare it at the same volume level is cheaper than other circuits.

Main power amplifier working
Designers set this circuit in “Direct Coupling All Complementary IC Drive”. The heart of the circuit is IC1(LF351). It is the differential amplifier pre-driver circuit.
Note: I chose LF351. Because of the lower noise reduction circuit. Also, high-frequency response than IC741. While you may use a TL071 or NE5534N is good quality as well.
The output signal of IC1 flows through two 1N4148 diodes D1 and D2 to the transistor drivers Q1(BD139), Q2(BD140).
Then, these current come to two main transistor output Q3 (MJ2955), Q4(2N3055).
The small Potentiometer VR2-1K is adjusted the idle current of this amplifier circuit. This circuit is so easy to adjust.
If you do not have an ammeter, you do not need to measure the IDLE current. You just adjust the VR2 at middle only (very simple!)
The DC dual power supply +35V GND -35V, 3A for Mono and 5A for stereo system.
Instructions on how to building
- Check the completed of PCB that defective, short circuit or not.
- First, do not connect to the output transistors(MJ2955,2N3055).
- Use a voltmeter measure voltage at output speaker and ground point.
- Supply to this circuit And must meter reading is zero volts. Or error must not exceed 0.5V.
- Put the output transistor into this circuit.
- The voltage must be OV the same, If non-zero, indicating that the bad output transistors.
- Connect speakers and input signal to this amplifier circuit. Let’s to listen the melodic music.
The Electronic parts.
IC1: LF351, TL071, LM741 normal op-amp
Q1: BD139
Q2: BD140
Q3: 2N3055
Q4: MJ2955
ZD1,ZD2: 15V 0.5W Zener diode
VR1: 50K Potentiometer
VR2: 1K pot

C3,C4: 47uF 25V Electrolytic capacitors
C2: 100uF 16V Electrolytic capacitors
D1,D2: 1N4148 Diode
The caution.
Holding the output transistors onto the heat sink you must sure that:
1. The screws tight, not fell, the loose easily.
2. Do not the short circuit between the collector Pin(transistor body) and heat sink, Due to the installation of mica insulation is not well.
And….. This circuit may be good for you!

12 Aug 2013To whom it may concern,
I am working in a powder coating plant as a manager. We have electrostatic machines that uses +/- 70 – 80 kV and only micro amps to charge the powder.
I have several diagrams of how to build a voltage multiplier but I need a little more help.
If the input voltage is max 16 volt AC but can be varied to less with a pot to approximately 50% to produce 35-40kV output. The transformer circuit also goes through a TIP3055 transistor and have 2 x 5W 220ohm resistors. I do not have a complete diagram as yet due to time limitations.
Can you think about this and assist in designing a proper circuit with components so that I can build these units for my self.
The machines we have were Staticote machines and I don’t get repair assistance without being severely overcharged.
Thank you for your time. I hope you can assist me in this regard.

16 Dec 2013Hi,Andreas Sohn.
This project is work so well.
You can use 5A 24V CT 24V transformer for stereo.
It power full 50 watts rms.
good luck.

23 Feb 2014I like how concise your notes are ! It’s one of my greatest dreams to mould an audio amplifier but unfortunately, I lack the basic knowledge about the components ;this problem ranging from how each component looks like (thus their pictures) ,their functions to their connections. I will be very grateful to have access to any material that helps me manoeuvre this problem . Thanks !

where should i connect the grand wires in amp board?
+35 in power board connect to +35 in amp board
_35 in power board connect to _35 in amp board
ground in amp board ???
T1 = 24-0-24 5 A
output voltag in power supply = 66 volt why?
amp not working please help me
thanks

4 Dec 2014Hi amir,
Thanks for your question.
First I am sorry if I understand you not cleared.
As Figure power supply circuit “GND = Ground”
Yes, the DC power supply voltage will be “33.6V + 33.6V about 66V.

4 Apr 2015Great, just finished it and it works a charm.
Thank you.

19 Apr 2015I am working in a power amplifier circuit on power system not on audio system. the power must be amplifier. for examples when we give 2 watts it gives 40 or 50 …. watts. and also it must be proportional.

7 Oct 2017cause the 100 ohm resistor always burn right next to that bd139 transistor. but only on that positive side.
