Abstract
The speaker apparatus according to the invention is arranged in a manner that when the magnitude of an audio signal Sin increases temporarily and so a consumption power increases, a DC-DC converter reduces an output voltage Vout to thereby increase an output current Iout and further discharges a capacitor to thereby increase a current supplied to an amplifier. Thus, a power of 2.5 W or more supplied from a USB connection terminal can be temporarily supplied to the amplifier. Further, since the change of the voltage difference between the both ends of the capacitor can be made large, an amount of the electric charges discharged from the capacitor can be made large and so the size of the capacitor can be reduced.
