Amplifier Protection:

Excessive output voltage; shorted loads;

excessive phase shift; rf interference;

overtemperature; excessive back EMF;

In-rush current limiter

Load Protection:

Start-up/shutdown transients; dc fault;

infrasonic signals; low ac line voltage;

nonlinear signal limiter

Output Topology:

True complementary symmetry with

ungrounded collectors (no mica insulators

means better heat transfer)
