An audio power amplifying apparatus includes first through B-th power
amplifying terminals, each of which power-amplifies an input alternating
current (AC) audio input signal input and outputs the power amplified
result as an audio output signal. A preamplifier of a b-th amplifying
terminal divides the audio input signal into positive and negative
portions to preamplify the positive and negative portions. A power supply
supplies first through M-th positive and negative voltages having
different levels. A power amplifier selects a positive supply voltage
having a level proportional to a level of the preamplified positive
portion and a negative supply voltage having a level proportional to a
level of the preamplified negative portion and again amplifies the
preamplified positive and negative portions using the selected positive
and negative supply voltages to be combined by a signal synthesizer as
the audio output signal.
