<p>A power amplifier system is used for numerous types of audio equipment, and prevents output distortion of the amplifier from deteriorating, under any condition, by controlling a voltage-controlled amplifier in response to fluctuation of an input signal and a power supply voltage. The power amplifier system includes a limiter that extracts a signal at a point of connection between a voltage amplifier and a power amplifier, converts the signal into a d.c. voltage with an integrating circuit after passing it through a voltage comparator, and varies the degree of amplification of a voltage control amplifier, so as to maintain an output voltage at a constant distortion ratio by application of a voltage limited according to an output level of the power amplifier. <IMAGE></p> |
