ABSTRACTOTL stands for Output Transformer-Less. It is a term used to describe amplifiers, particularly tube amplifiers that do not have an output transformer. Such amplifiers are commonly called OTL tube amplifiers. The advantages of OTL are reducing the noise and the output resistor in order to match with the speakers, which commonly have the resistance, are about 8 ohms. However, the sound which is created by OTL circuit is quite good, and the very good OTL circuit is very expensive, and particularly integrated in high quality tube-speaker.

III. Detail Design
1. Analysis the circuit :a. Pre-amplifier
i. Schematic - Q1 is amplifying stage, using pnp transistor. R1 and
R2 are used to polarizing Q1's Base. R3 and capacitor C2 supply voltage for this stage. With this kind of filter, the Boating effect is neglected. C1is coupling capacitor and RV1 is for adjusting the volume. The negative feedback is formed by R, R11 and C4
- Current through R2 is the most important current. Without this current, other polarizing currents will disappear.
- Increasing R8 enhances the effect of negative feedback and decrease gain. However, sound quality will be improved. In contrast, decreasing RF decline the quality.

b. Push-pulli. Schematic
- Q2 is push-pull stage. Output signal from Q1's collector is directed to Q2's base. Diodes D1, D2, D3 are used to polarize this stage and immense signal distortion Output signal is taken with resistor R7. Feedback network with C3, R6 balances amplitude of output signal. C5 acts as feedback, preventing the circuit from unexpected oscillation.

- Q3 and Q4 form a power push-pull stage. When output signal from Q2's C is at positive phase, Q3 on and Q4 offs, and vice-versa. These mechanisms improve productivity of the circuit to 78%. R8 and R9 compensate heat for transistors. D4 is used for impedance compensation at output channel of Q4 and Q6 at positive phase and of Q3 and Q4 at negative phase.
- Q5 and Q6 are power transistors, supplying high current for the speaker. At positive phase, while Q3 and Q5 on and Q4 and Q6 off, charging current to C6 is pushed to speaker. At negative phase, Q4 and Q6 on, Q3 and Q5 off, discharging current from C3 is pushed to speaker. Hence, signal through Q5 and Q6 vibrate the membrane of the speaker, creating sound.
- C7, R10 compensate speaker for its impedance, so that sound distortion is neglected. Impedance of the speaker is 8 ohm at low frequency region and increase when frequency becomes higher. At this time, Zobel filter keep the impedance stable, avoiding power distortion effect.
