4 Channel Amplifier Notes

The overall gain is controlled by the ratio R14/R13 and R6/R5. Used by small Hi-Fi speakers, the volume was too loud for small room so you may reduce R14 and R6 to 33k. The Zobel network formed by R7, C7, R8, C8, R15, C16, R16, C17 prevents instability which can happen with long speaker wires. The input impedance is high, 1M and if very long input cables are present could pick up noise. Screened cable should be used, in my case I used 10k resistors between points A & C, B & C, D & F, E & F. This provides a DC path to ground and higher noise immunity. If instability does occur, then you will notice sound distortion and the LM1877N will become hot to touch.
