The article discusses why a matching transformer is needed in audio amplifiers. A matching transformer is used to match the output impedance of the amplifier with the impedance of the speaker. Such amplifiers are assembled on a transistor connected according to a common emitter circuit in order to obtain maximum output power. However, the resistance of the common emitter cascade is significantly higher than the speaker resistance, which does not allow transmitting high power from the amplifier to the speaker. If the speaker is connected directly to the transistor collector circuit, then when setting the operating point, a significant current will flow in the collector circuit. As a result, such an audio amplifier circuit will have a fairly low efficiency, that is, most of the energy coming from the power source will be wasted. In order to transmit maximum power from the amplifier to the speaker, and this is possible when their resistances are equal, a matching transformer is used. The primary winding of the transformer has a resistance equal to the output impedance of the amplifier, and the secondary winding has a resistance equal to the impedance of the speaker.
