Audio Clipper and Compressor Circuits Explained
In this article I have explained using circuit diagrams how a clipper and a compressor circuits work to processes an input audio signal as per the required output signal. What is an Audio Clipper An audio clipper circuit is basically used to alter or restrict the amplitude (volume) of an audio signal. There are mostly […]
Simple TV Transmitter Circuit (Audio and Video Combined)
The TV transmitter circuit presented in this post incorporates the European standard FM frequency for audio and Video up-links. Referring to the circuit below, Q1 is configured as a preamplifier for amplifying the audio input to be modulated. Circuit Description Q2 is fundamentally responsible for conducting a couple of important functions: It amplifies the carrier frequency […]
USB 5V Audio Amplifier for PC Speakers
Audio amplifiers which are designed to work with a 5 V supply from a USB socket such as from a computer USB are called an USB amplifiers. In this article I have explained how to build a simple 3 watt amplifier circuit which can be powered directly from a computer 5V USB port for driving […]
SMPS 2 x 50V 350W Circuit for Audio Power Amplifiers
This article will illustrate a simple procedure to devise an unregulated 50V switching SMPS symmetric power supply of 350W. This unit can be substituted with the standard audio amplifier power supply to reduce expense and also the weight. The proposed power supply works as a half-bridge with no regulation.
