Here is simple circuit of eight channel audio mixture with multiple control using IC TDA 1524A and 747 to mix eight individual sound. The PCB for soldering side and component side is also given. The conventional sound systems involved recording of sounds from several musical instruments, each played by different musicians using only a single microphone. Then, in order to balance the sound tone, they had to alter the positions of musicians according to the microphone. Due to which people started to record directly to stereo master tape. However that…

The circuit and PCB Design of Low Power Audio Amplifier using LM386 is posted here which used to drive at most audio power of 1 Watt. LM386 is an low voltage, battery operated power amplifier designed for application where low voltage is main concern. The main advantage of using LM386 is it does not requires any ground reference voltage and it’s output is automatically biased to 1/2 of supply voltage. Circuit Description of Low Power Audio Amplifier Using LM386 To derive at most audio power of 1 watt at the…
Read MoreRelay Tester Circuit
Here is the relay tester circuit using timer IC 555 which is used to measure pull-in and release voltage of relays ranging from 6V to 28V DC. Relays are probably the simplest electromechanical devices, yet they are the most important components of many industrial and domestic electrical equipment. All too often, it is a hardship for the equipment manufacturers to discover that the commercial quality relays of similar types have a wide range of operating voltage. Many times, it is found that the relay contacts will not close properly. Many…

Various types of temperature measuring and controlling circuits either using a microcontroller or discrete component are already posted on bestengineeringprojects.com. Circuit Diagram of Electric Thermometer Using OP-AMP 741 The entire circuit of the electric thermometer is built around two op-amp 741 IC, a silicon diode, and a few passive components, where silicon diode D1 is used as a temperature sensor. The diode 4148 has a voltage…
Read MoreGearbox Troubleshooting
In the article Gearbox Troubleshooting, the common faults of the gearbox will be discussed and suitable remedies suggested. Noisy operation of the gearbox | Gearbox Troubleshooting There may be two different cases i.e., the noisy running when the vehicle is stationary or when it is running in various gears. Stationary running This noise may be due to any or more of the following reasons: The bearings may be worn out in which case they will have to replace. Countershaft may be worn, bent or have large end play. This has…
Read MoreSingle Phasing Preventer Circuit
If we have been familiar with machinery, we all know how important it is to follow safety measures to mitigate injuries and accidents. A single phasing preventer circuit is one of the solutions we can look forward to. The phrase ‘preventer circuit’ itself portrays it. The single-phase preventer circuit is also a high low and unbalanced-supply voltage cut-off relay. To ensure complete safety for 3-phase machinery, the preventer circuit has been known to be handy. Generally, an induction motor burns out due to excessive voltage during an off-hour, a very…
