A SET tube audio amplifier. A single-ended triode (SET) is a vacuum tube electronic amplifier that uses a single triode to produce an output, in contrast to a push-pull amplifier which uses a pair of devices with antiphase inputs to generate an output with the wanted signals added and the distortion components subtracted.
The input offset voltage is a parameter defining the differential DC voltage required between the inputs of an amplifier, especially an operational amplifier (op-amp), to make the output zero (for voltage amplifiers, 0 volts with respect to ground or between differential outputs, depending on the output type).
Bi-amping - An active crossover with two amplifiers.. Bi-amping and tri-amping is the practice of using two or three audio amplifiers respectively to amplify different audio frequency ranges, with the amplified signals being routed to different speaker drivers, such as woofers, subwoofers and tweeters.
When at least one of the inputs is low, transistor V 1 is turned on, V 2 is turned off, V 3 is turned on and V 4 off, pulling output voltage high. When both inputs are high, V 2 is on, V 3 is off and V 4 is turned on, pulling output low. A digital use of a push–pull configuration is the output of TTL and related families.
The purpose of T2 and T3 is to allow back-biasing diode D2 when the amplifier output is at a positive peak (above 39.3 V) and back biasing D4 when the output is at negative peak less than -39.3 V. During the musical peaks from 100 to 400 watts, the +/-40 V rails source no current as all the current comes from the +/-80 V rails.

A genuine Signetics NE5532N in PDIP package, made in 1990, on a modem board A Texas Instruments SA5532A in SOIC package on an audio distribution amplifier board . The NE5532, also sold as SA5532, SE5532 and NG5532 (commonly called just 5532) is a dual monolithic, bipolar, internally compensated operational amplifier (op amp) for audio applications introduced by Signetics in 1979.
A paralleled configuration of two amplifier channels delivers the same power and halves dissipation. So when both configurations are combined on a set of four single-ended amplifiers, the power output is increased four-fold but the power dissipation of each constituent amplifier is not increased, and thermal issues are easier to handle.
