The vast majority of audio amplifiers deliver an output voltage that follows the input voltage, amplified by a certain factor, resulting in a low-impedance output. An uncommon, but interesting, alternative is designing the amplifier so that the output current mirrors the input voltage, effectively creating a high-impedance, voltage-controlled current source. Learn how this special type of amplifier works and how to build it.
