Making a Center Speaker Box C80 for Surround Sound Systems
A Hi-Fi surround sound system (5.1) typically consists of 4 speakers at the corners of the room, and a center speaker just below or above the TV or the video system. This center speaker becomes the main speaker box of the surround sound since it is responsible for delivering the high quality voice output from […]
Touch Volume Control Circuit
This touch volume control circuit has two touch pads which enable the user to increase or decrease the volume of an audio amplifier simply by touching the relevant touch pads. The advantages of this solid-state volume control are: very long life due to the absence of any wear and tear, quick and easy finger touch […]
How to Design MOSFET Power Amplifier Circuits – Parameters Explained
In this post I have explained various parameters that must be considered while designing a MOSFET power amplifier circuit. We also analyze the difference between bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and MOSFET characteristics and understand why MOSFETS are more suitable and efficient for power amplifier applications. Contributed by Daniel Schultz Overview When designing a power amplifier […]
Audio Delay Line Circuit – For Echo, Reverb Effects
An audio delay line is a technique in which a given audio signal is passed through a series of digital storage stages, until the final audio output is delayed by a certain period (usually in milliseconds). When this delayed audio output is fed back to the original audio, it results in an amazingly enhanced audio, […]
4 Efficient PWM Amplifier Circuits Explained
Audio amplifiers which are designed to amplify an analogue audio signal through pulse width modulation or PWM processing and with adjustable duty cycle is known by many names including digital amplifier, Class-D amplifier, switched amplifier and PWM amplifier. (Article Contributed by: Ritu khanna) Because it can perform at high efficiencies, a Class-D amplifier has become […]
