    This 2-stage transistor amplifier circuit uses two transistors (Q1 and Q2) to amplify audio signals from a microphone in two stages. In the first stage, Q1 amplifies the voltage of the signal. The amplified signal is then passed through a coupling capacitor to the second stage. Q2 further amplifies the current of the signal in an emitter follower configuration. The final output signal is both voltage and current amplified, allowing it to directly drive a speaker and produce loud, clear sound.

    WORKING EXPLANATION:
    This 2 stage amplifier circuit comprises of two stages each of which perform amplification on the
    incoming audio signals and output finally obtained at the end of 2nd stage. A simple Microphone was
    used to feed input audio signals followed by a coupling capacitor C1 which removes any DC element
    from audio signal.

    FIRST STAGE:
    In the first stage the transistor was wired in Collector emitter amplifier. R1 and R2 forms a voltage
    divider in order to provide the bias voltage for the transistor to turn it ON. R3 serves as the Load
    resistor for the transistor to amplify the voltage of the input signals. The variation in base current of
    transistor from the Microphone controls the Q1 and voltage developed in R3 will be inverted with
    respect to the input signal from the Microphone.

    Thus amplified signal is obtained from R3 and goes to the next transistor stage through a coupling
    capacitor C5 to remove the DC element from the signal. R4 serves the purpose of providing
    feedback to stabilize the DC bias given to the Q1 transistor. C2 was used to maintain the gain at
    which the voltage of the input signal in amplified by this stage.

    SECOND STAGE:
    This stage was used to amplify the current of the audio signal and configured as an emitter follower
    stage. The load resistor is omitted here to decrease the output impedance and amplify the current of
    the signal. The Resistor R5 goes in to same swing equivalent to the signal from output of first stage.

    Thus Voltage and Current amplified signal can be obtained from the Emitter terminal of the
    Transistor Q2. This improves the overall power of the signal making it suitable to drive the output
    speaker connected to it. The signal is then passed through a capacitor C4 which blocks the DC
    element from the output signal. C3 a decoupling capacitor was used to keep away the stray noise
    and avoid oscillations affecting the circuit.

    Thus the final output signal will be both current and voltage amplified and can drive the Speaker
    directly and capable of producing loud and clear sound from it.
