ABSTRACT:
A first signal processor stage of an audio amplifier arrangement influences the signal strength of a received audio signal for at least part of the frequency range of the received audio signal. An output amplifier stage amplifies the audio signal influenced by the first signal processor stage. The audio amplifier arrangement further includes a transformer having a primary winding connectable to a mains voltage and having a secondary winding connected to an AC/DC converter whose outputs are connected to at least the output amplifier stage for feeding the output amplifier stage. A detection circuit generates a detection signal (Vms) which is related to the power load of the transformer. An analysis circuit detects in response to the detection signal whether the rise in temperature occurring in the transformer due to the power load has exceeded a specific norm. The analysis circuit includes a control circuit for reducing the signal strength of the received audio signal for at least the part of the frequency range in the case where a transgression of the norm is detected.
