The equalizer presented in this article is suitable for use with hi-fi installations, public-address systems. mixers and electronic musical instruments. The relay contacts at the inputs and outputs, in conjunction with S2, enable the desired channel to be selected. The input may be linked directly to the output, if wanted. The input impedance and

amplification of the equalizer are set with S1 and S3. The audio frequency spectrum of 31 Hz to 16 kHz is divided into ten bands. Ten bands require ten filters, of which nine are passive and one active. The passive filters are identical in design and differ only in the value of the relevant inductors and capacitors. The requisite characteristics of the filters are achieved by series and parallel networks. The filter for the lowest frequency band is an active one to avoid a very large value of inductance. It is based in a traditional manner on op amp A1. The inductors used in the passive filters are readily available small chokes. The filter based on L1 and L2 operates at about the lowest frequency (62 Hz) that can be achieved with standard, passive components. The Q(uality) factor of the filters can, in principle, be raised slightly by increasing the value of R19 and R23, as well as that of P1 P10, but that would be at the expense of the noise level of op amp IC1. With component values as specified, the control range is about ±11 dB, which in most case will be fine. A much larger range is not attainable without major redesign. The input level can be adjusted with P1, which may be necessary for adjusting the balance between the channels or when a loudness control is used in the output amplifiers. Several types of op amp can be used:in the prototype, IC1 is an LT1007, and IC2, an OP275. Other suitable types for IC1 are OP27...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
