ABSTRACT:
An output filter for an audio amplifier includes a printed circuit board having at least one aperture extending through the printed circuit board. The output filter includes a first coil winding formed on a layer of the printed circuit board. The first coil winding substantially surrounds the first aperture. A magnetic core includes at least one leg. The at least one leg passes through the at least one aperture.
