The statement that at least two | | stages of audio frequency amplifica- tion arc necessary for lond-speaker | work has been repeated so often that it is accepted as gospel truth by ny radio fans ! This statement may have been | true back in the dlaper days of radio | broadeasting, when both transmit- ting and receiving apparatus was| not_ developed to the stage as it is now. but today this development has | reached such a stage that it is en- | tirely possible to work a loud speaker on a one-tube set up to distances | of 500 miles, provided a good aerial | system and a good one-tube set employed. The volume, of course, is not great, but it is suflicient to make speech intelligible several feet from the | horn. In such cases one stage of are | audio frequency amplification is all that is necessary to build up the volume fo a point whers it will be pleasant and not of the harsh, noisy type =0 often obtained with many two-stage amplifiers. A £00d detector unit with one stage | of audio frequeney amplification forms | the ideal combination when a good | acrial svstem of about 100 feet and a good quality loud speaker are used | the combination. i diagram of such a unit, de-| hat it can be used with detector unit is shown The igned numbers assigned symbols are th used (o designate represent, be panel layout ch will tomorrow Nos and 2 input binding posts, conn A and B terminals, resp the audio amplifying transformer.
