TV /VCR Remote Range Extender Circuit - I often get frustrated by how poor some infrared remotes in many new electronic devices operate. I used to be able to turn on the TV from 30 feet away. Now, it seems that I have to get within 15 feet. To address this issue, I designed the circuit shown below. The circuit taps into the TV remote’s existing infrared LED and drives 8 more efficient devices. The result is a communications range some 4 to 5 times longer.. . .

Two 9v battery-powered Amps based on the LM386. Schematic & PCB/perfboard layouts. - For better compatibility with effects driving the Little Gem, a FET buffer can be added. Both the Little Gem Mk II (seen below) and Ruby schematics include a simple buffer design. No further circuit modifications are necessary, however the input capacitor value of the amp may need to be adjusted to taste. __ Contact: holler @ runoffgroove.Com

Two Line Mixer - Sometimes there is need to combine the output of two line level audio sources to be fed to one input. A standard way in professional audio is to use a mixing desk, but on home audio system you might want to look for a simpler and less expensive alternative. Some people have suggested of combining two audio outputs with an "Y-adapter" which is ment to split one output. Those adapters are just one male connector and two feamle connector directly wired to each other in the followin way: __ Designed by Tomi Engdahl

Universal Buffer - A 2 stage audio pre-amplifier with very good performance. This preamplifier has two direct-coupled common emitter stages and uses series-voltage feedback. The circuit has high input impedance, low output impedance, voltage gain can be set independently and has low noise levels and good signal noise ratio. __ Designed by Graham Maynard
Universal Musical Interface - Just a picture for now __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook
Universal Preamplifier - Most audio amplifier systems must have preamplifiers with many different characteristics. These include high-gain linear response for magnetic microphones, low-gain linear response for tuners, and high-gain RIAA equalization for magnetic phone cartridges. __ Designed by YMYA electronics-IZHAR FAREED
Uno-The Boogie MkI - One of the first amps to offer distortion at lower volumes was the Boogie MkI amplifier. As told by Randall Smith, the designer of the Boogie amp, these amplifiers were born of a practical joke on a guitarist friend. Mr. Smith modified a Fender Princeton to have considerably more gain and power, but appear stock. As the story goes, Carlos Santana play-tested the amp and was impressed. Carlos was quoted as saying the amp "really boogied!" Thus, the name of the amp was born. __ Contact: holler @ runoffgroove.Com

Use Amplifier Phono Input as Line Level Input: Inverse RIAA Filter - The circuit does two functions: signal level attenuation and inverse RIAA filtering. The signal attenuation is needed to convert the 500 mV signal to 2.5 mV signal.
