ABSTRACT:
An audio amplifier operatively connected to the secondary winding of a power transformer. The primary winding of the transformer is connected through a control circuit which has switch means that is turned on and off during selected portions of half cycles of the voltage imposed upon the primary winding of the transformer. By turning the switch on and off at appropriate intervals, the proper amounts of electrical energy can be delivered to supply the power requirements for amplification, while substantially reducing problems of idling currents in the primary winding of the transformer. Thus, the transformer can be made much smaller than in power supplies of conventional amplifiers.
