AES Paper: AB Distortion in Output Stages

My Audio Engineering Society journal article on class AB distortion in power amplifier output stages, 1983 — referenced throughout the Schematics and Theory sections.

“Distortion in Class AB Power Amplifiers”, Terje Sandstrøm (Institute of Physics, University of Oslo). Presented first as an AES convention paper, then published in the Journal:

This was one of two papers I presented at AES conventions in the early ’80s; this is the one that made it into the Journal. I haven’t been able to identify the other one — if you know its title, let me know via the about page.
