- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of an output transformer in power amplifiers?
**A**: The output transformer matches the amplifier's output impedance to the load (typically speakers), provides voltage/current transformation for optimal power transfer, and offers electrical isolation to protect components and reduce noise.

### Q: What materials are commonly used in high-quality output transformers?
**A**: High-quality output transformers typically use silicon steel laminations for the core to minimize energy loss, copper wire for windings to ensure efficient conductivity, and specialized insulation materials to prevent short circuits and enhance durability.

### Q: How do I select the right output transformer for my amplifier?
**A**: Select an output transformer based on your amplifier's output impedance, power rating, and the load impedance of your speakers. Consider core material (e.g., iron for low frequencies, ferrite for high frequencies) and ensure the BOM includes components like the bobbin and proper insulation for reliable performance.
