Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006078378A2] A circuit (100) and method of switching an output of a single preamplifier (110) to or from multiple amplifier output stages (150, 151). The preamplifier output is switched between multiple audio amplifier output stages without degrading the performance of the output signal. A switching circuit (210-213, 220-223) selectively couples the preamplifier output to an amplifier output stage and also couples (160, 161) a feedback loop (122, 123) between the selected amplifier output stage and the preamplifier stage.
