A balanced transformer-less (BTL) power drive circuit comprises a push-pull type output transistor section connected with a main power supply PowVcc, and an input control section connected with an auxiliary power supply for providing the output transistor section with a control signal. The potential of the auxiliary power supply is selectively set equal to or above the supply potential of the main power supply, depending on the requirements for the dynamic range of the power chive circuit. In accord with the potential of the auxiliary power supply thus set, the output reference potential Vref is set to the medium of the dynamic range, thereby ensuring the linearity of the input-output characteristic of the drive circuit, irrespective of the selected level of the auxiliary power supply.
