Abstract

An amplifier arrangement for amplifying at least one first and one second audio input signal. In one embodiment, the arrangement includes a master amplifier designed as a class D amplifier. The first audio input signal is applied to the master audio input and a master audio output signal is applied to the master audio output. The arrangement also includes a master feedback loop; thus enabling the master amplifier to be designed as a self-oscillating class D amplifier having a master oscillation frequency, at least one slave amplifier, a slave feedback loop, wherein a slave audio output signal or signal portions thereof are fed back into a slave audio input, and a master-slave coupling loop, wherein the master audio output signal or signal portions thereof is coupled into the slave audio input, so that the slave amplifier has the master oscillation frequency as its oscillation frequency.
