100mV for 500mW RMS in 16 ohms S/N > 60dB Input impedance 1M ohm Min. Load 8 ohms Characteristics for 250mW into 16 ohms Approx THD 0.5% - quiescent I bias=50uA 0.1% - quiescent I bias=2.5mA -3dB @ 30Hz & 18kHz Notes to be completed! Only the left channel is shown. Bias chain R2/R3/D1/D2 is shared between both channels. With R9 at maximum resistance (both channels) quiescent current should be approx 400uA This is fine for speech and low quality music Increase LH pot till current rises by 50uA, then RH pot for another 50uA giving a total of 500uA This is OK for medium to good quality music. Increase current for each channel by 2.5mA for best quality music. If you don't have a meter set pots at mid position for reasonable compromise.
