Peak program indicator, speaker powered - This circuit requires no battery, being powered from the loudspeaker signal it is detecting. When the voltage being delivered to the speaker exceeds the level set up by the preset RV, the LED indicator flashes. __ Designed by Richard Torrens
Peak Reading Audio Level Meter - indicates peak audio response on an analogue meter, similar to a tape recorder recording level meter __ Designed by Andy Collison
Peak-reading meters - This article first appeared in the April 1981 issue of Recording-engineer/producer magazine. Peak reading meters, popular in Europe for years, are just now coming into greater favor in America, and for good reason. The main purpose for having a VU meter is obviously to monitor signal levels going to a tape recorder, reverb unit, or some other level-sensitive device, to help optimize the signal to noise ratio of the audio sent to the device. Too much level will produce distortion, and too little results in the inherent noise of the medium becoming a problem. Unfortunately, a conventional VU meter responds to the average level of the program material and not to the peaks; yet it is these momentary bursts of higher level that become distorted first. __ Designed by Ethan Winer

Phozer - The original Phozer was a sound idea, but was hindered by its mashed-up development. The circuit didn't really exceed the sum of its parts, namely Tim Escobedo's Idiot Wah and the LFO from the EA Tremolo. The faux phase shifting effect was reasonably convincing at faster speeds, but the LFO failed to produce a true sweep at slower speeds. Rather than ramp up and down, at slow speeds the LFO simply spent more time in the darker heel-down position between quick pulses of toe-down mode. Also, we saw that using op-amps rather than discrete components would probably allow for a more complex effect with fewer parts. __ Contact: holler @ runoffgroove.Com
PICAXE Plays Music - One of the most popular uses of PICAXE chips is in sound orientated projects. Both the new PICAXE-14M and PICAXE-28X1 support the 08M 'play' and 'tune' commands, which allow the PICAXE chips to play mobile phone ring-tones directly via a piezo sounder. __ SiliconChip
PIC-Based Musical Tuning Aid - This compact device will help you tune almost any musical instrumentacoustic or electronic. It can produce any note on the tempered musical scale (standard pitch) in any of the eight most commonly used octaves, with an accuracy of better than ?0.08% or 1.3 musical cents. The selected note is compared with that from the instrument either by ear or visually by using an eight-LED stroboscopic beat indicator. __ SiliconChip
Pira CZ Compressor/Limiter/Clipper for FM Broadcasting - Audio signals as music or speech have big dynamic ranges. There are silent and loud sections. These audio signals aren't too good for a transmitter, which requires audio signal with constant level on the input. Limiter is a device, __ Jan Kolar

Potpourri of Transistor Audio Amplifiers - At a recent RASON meeting, I gave a presentation of how to design audio preamplifiers. I thought it would be nice if we could now build some audio amplifiers to bring the output from these preamplifiers to levels which could drive a speaker. I intentionally avoided the use of IC amplifiers to provide a real learning experience for audio amplifier design. Although many IC amplifiers provide excellent performance at low cost, we need to learn the basics first. I will address IC audio amplifiers in a future article. __ Designed by N1HFX
Power Amp with DIY Chassis - This is a simple chassis using just 4 aluminum panels and 2 heatsinks. Designed around dimensions to tightly pack in a LM3886 chip amp kit. The top and bottom panels sit in ridges cut into the heatsinks with a table saw, and then the front and back panels just bolt into the end fins
Power Amplifier Clipping Indicator - At some stage, we will all find ourselves pushing hi-fi equipment just a little too hard, and if lucky, will just find that the sound has become "dirty". If this happens too often or is too severe, tweeters are the first to gothey are damaged by the excessive power generated by a combination of "power compression" and the harmonics created when an amplifier clips. The same may well happen to one's ears, but the effect is much more subtle (and cannot be fixed !). __ Designed by Rod Elliott ESP
