Abstract
A low distortion audio amplifier utilizes a pair of field effect transistors connected in a balanced source follower configuration. A tapped inductor connected between the sources of the field effect transistors provides inductive coupling between the sources and maintains the sources at the same direct current potential. This permits the voice coil of a loud speaker to be connected directly across the sources without causing excessive direct current to flow through the voice coil.
