A Discrete FET Guitar Preamp - I've been performing experiments with guitar preamps and on-board electronics since, oh, the Nixon adminstration or thereabouts. Sometime around 1990 I designed this preamp circuit, and have been using it mostly unchanged ever since. In 1992 I posted a schematic of the preamp to one of the Usenet groups and the circuit became somewhat popular. __ Designed by J. Donald Tillman
A Gainclone for the PC Age - Audio input comes from either the Line-Out of the PC or an external sound card (described later). A small filter consisting of 680Ω/47pF excludes any RF signals from entering the case.470nF input capacitor should have a high voltage rating since it protects against line voltages being connected to the amplifier, since it is in the signal path it should be a high quality type __ Designed by Malcolm Rix
A Musical Distortion Primer - This is an introduction to the basic means of distorting a signal in a musically useful way. The approach is as non-technical as possible. I use the simplest signal waveform, a sine wave, to illustrate all these, although a guitar is much more like a sawtooth than a sine wave. The clipped waveforms will be shown in their raw state __ Designed by R.G. Keen
A 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

A Simple Circuit Capacitance Multiplier Power Supply for Class-A Amplifiers - A basic circuit is provided in the article, but it is assumed that the builder knows all the pitfalls. The supplied schematic is in fact for a capacitance multiplier filter (not a regulator) , but is somewhat lacking (I feel) and can be improved dramatically __ Designed by Rod Elliott ESP

A/V Sender - This small circuit transmitter processes the signs of audio of a sound table or microphone, and the signs of video of a camera, or still the audio signs and video of a DVD, Video-cassette or even it sweats her video plate has an exit of composed video, you can transmit direct of your computer. Playing them in a channel free from the strip of VHF __ Designed by Toni on Aug 19, 2009
A4 Power Amplifier - This is a 4 channel amplifier that uses LM4780s working in parallel mode. There are options for bi-amping or bridging. Each channel is rated at around 50 watts per channel, but bridged, it produces over 150 watts per channel. __ Designed by {Mark Hennessy

Active HiFi speakers - A pair of large three-way speakers with built-in active cross-over and expanded class-A amplifiers, exhibiting very high sound quality, while being neither hard to build, nor expensive. Schematic diagram, printed circuit board layout, and several photos are included. __ Designed by Manfred Mornhinweg
Active Load in Gain Stage - Instead of a resistor at the transistor's collector, you might have seen a current source (active component) substituted in an audio amp's gain stage. Why go through the trouble of the added components? You'll find the active loading of a current source packs (spice design)
Active Subwoofer & Controller - Designed to operate a sub-woofer driver below its resonant frequency __ Designed by Rod Elliott ESP

AcTVie speaker based on a dual op-amp (LM833) & TDA2030 power Amp - This is a simple powered loudspeaker that was originally intended to be used as a simple piece of test equipment. It is based around a small full-range loudspeaker that I'd inherited, which originally came from Radio Spares __ Designed by Mark Hennessy
Add harmony to your systE - M - 07/20/00 EDN-Design Ideas Have you ever wished you could distinguish one device's operating state from anor's by sounds y make or that error states would sound harsh while normal operations would sound harmonious? By combining NCO technique from a previous Design Idea (Reference 1] Design by Eugene O -- EDN
Add music to your next project - 12/23/99 EDN-Design Ideas Adding music to your next design is as simple as using one I/O pin to drive the speaker and approximately 150 words of program memory to play the music. You can store the musical notes and durations internally in program memory or externally in a serial EEPROM. Frequently, implementing musical playback requires an external processor with memory or a specialized Design by Rodger Richey, Microchip Technology Inc, Chandler, AZ
Adjustable Audio Notch Filter - A variable notch filter with both high and low pass filters. __ Designed by Andy Collison
Adjustable bass filter from 50 Hz to 150 Hz-Ne5532 Bass Filter with volume control - This is a bass filter, using the OpAmp Ne5532 or another of your choice. The circuit is simple to set up and already has symmetrical power supply, the transformer must use 9-12 volts / 500ma with center tap … In many cases the power source can be made by the power amplifier … Just watch […] __ Designed by Antonio Rodrigues
Advanced Audio Amplifier - This is roughly the minimum number of components that represents the classic audio amplifier topology. You can clearly see the three stages found in many audio amps (and op amps today). However, looking at actual audio designs, you'll find the basic topology has been tweaked and enhanced in a few key locations (spice design)
AF Pre-amp for Kenwood Mc-50 microphone to improve high frequency responce (high emphasis) - Ham RadioSchematic __ Designed by Guy Roels ON6MU
AGC Dynamic Microphone - Dynamic microphones have a fantastic dynamic range, easily handling whispers to rock concerts. The signal level range coming out of a dynamic microphone can be huge and an AGC amplifier can prove quite handy. This project employs an old hobby dynamic microphone mounted in a film canister with the AGC amplifier tucked inside. The LED/photocell is an ordinary LED glued to the top of a small CdS cell from a night light, covered with black 'liquid tape'. The top of the LED was sanded flat to make it easier to glue to the flat cell face. The pair is visible to the left of the output level potentiometer, above the op-amp __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.
All About Audio Amplifiers - Amplifiers would be nothing without tone controls. They allow us to boost or cut the low and high ends of the audio spectrum. Nobody would buy an amplifier or preamp that did not have them. Because these controls are so important designers spend a lot of time and effort on these circuits __ Designed by Max Robinson |
