An electric filter or simply a filter is an electric network that passes or allows without loss, the transmission of electric signal within a certain frequency range but stops or disallows transmission of electric signal outside this frequency range. The three most-popular filters found in audio equipment are the High Pass Filter (rumble filter), Low pass filter (scratch filter), and speech filters. The rumble filter is a high-pass filter, used to suppress the low-frequency rumbling sound associated with old and worn-out turntable and tape deck mechanisms. Here we explain to…

Among different types of amplifiers available in today’s technical world, sometimes we get stuck with the audio frequency amplifiers which provide flat frequency low-frequency notes should be amplified more than the high-frequency note stable). The provision of bass treble is accordingly made to gratify the users and to compensate for the effect of noise that comes along with the signal. The bass treble combination is given a single name; tone control. Circuit Description of Bass Treble Circuit Talking about the bass treble circuit, it is comparatively much simpler and gainful.…

Among the most popular control circuit found in an audio system is tone control. The tone control is used to modify the tonal characteristic of the signal chain i.e. it enables the listener to alter the tonal quality of the sound being reproduced. The effect of tone control has on the frequency response of the equipment and their purpose is to help remedy shortcomings in the source program material, the receiver or transducer, or in the loudspeaker and the listening room combination. These are either of the passive types, of…

The circuit posted here is of a preamplifier for ceramic pick-up having moderately high input impedance about 470Ω and voltage gain of more than 12. Circuit Description of Preamplifier for ceramic-pickup The circuit of a preamplifier for ceramic pickup is built around FETs because it has outstanding low-level characteristics including a high input impedance and low noise. These characteristics make the FET a natural choice at the input stage of a preamplifier for accepting signals from high-impedance transducers such as ceramic-pickup. Inputs from the ceramic microphones are given to the…

The project posted here is of a high gain preamplifier circuit with a low input impedance of about 4 KΩ. It is capable of very high gain in the order of a few hundred if Rc is very greater than RL. Circuit Description of High Gain Preamplifier Circuit The circuit of the high gain preamplifier is built around a low-power NPN transistor T1 which is here configured in common emitter mode using self-bias or emitter bias. This biasing method is used because it produces excellent operating point stability. Resistor R1…

The project posted here is of simple preamplifier circuit and is the simplest possible. This circuit provides a voltage gain of about 3 to 30 and is dependent upon source and load impedance. The simple preamplifier circuit has low input impedance. Description of Simple Preamplifier Circuit The circuit of the simple preamplifier is designed using a single low power amplifier transistor and is configured in common emitter mode. The input signal is given to the base of transistor T1 through capacitor C1. Capacitor C1 is a coupling capacitor to couple…
