An Approach to Audio Frequency Amplifier Design

This volume of seventeen high-quality amplifier designs, covering a range of five through eleven hundred watts, came out of the Research Laboratories of General Electric Company (UK). The research leading to publication included a team of the most distinguished designers of the day. W.I. Heath and D.M. Leakey were joined by G.R. Woodville in putting together what is at once an authoritative and comprehensive compendium of audio amplification hardware. These designs are all based on vacuum tubes, or as the British prefer to call them, thermionic valves. GEC produced some of the world's finest of these devices, designed especially for audio applications. The KT66 and KT88 were and still are highly regarded wherever tubes were being used to amplify sound. The designs included here cover applications from a simple amplifier for home use to very large units for public address in auditoriums and stadiums. The book offers more than power amplification, however. Two high- quality, versatile pr
