Two amplifiers connected in series
« on: March 07, 2008, 06:49:40 AM »
This is a question that came up to me when i was studing some things for amplifiers.

I read that if you connect two transistor amplifiers in series, the total power you get is the multiplication of these two. For example, if you have a transistor that ampifies 10 times and another transistor that amplifies another 10 times, connecting them together gives you an amplification of 100!

Is it so easy to have amplification power?

Yes actually you are right. Amplification is multiplied. But if you connect an allready amplified signal to an improper transistor, all you will get is a very loud noise.

There are limitations in transistor amplificaion gain and input. These limitations unfortunately makes a HiFi amplifier so hard to make. :(

And what about OP-Amps?

Rules are rules and laws are laws. Otherwise, why do you think people give a shitload of money for 200-300 or 400watts Hi-Fi amps?

Imagine, 10 transistor connected in series, 1000 Watts! WOW
