Audio Level Meter - Audio levels can be monitored using a small panel meter with this circuit built from discrete components. The circuit has a flat frequency response from about 20Hz to well over 50Khz. Input sensitivity is 100mV for a full scale deflection on a 100uA meter. Built on two common emitter amplifiers, the first stage has a preset resistor which may be adjusted for a FSD. The last stage is biased to operate at roughly half the supply voltage for maximum ac voltage swing. Audio frequencies are passed through the 10u dc blocking capacitor and the full wave bridge rectifier converts the signal to a varying dc voltage __ Designed by Andy Collison
Audio Light Modulator - Audio light modulations add to enjoyment of music during functions organised at home or outdoors. Presented here is one such simple circuit in which light is modulated using a small fraction of audio output from speaker terminals of audio amplifier. The output from speaker terminals of audio amplifier is connected to a transformer
Audio Limiter for NBFM - This image is of a hard audio limiter used to limit the amount of deviation in an exciter. After the "knee" the compression ratio is infinite to 1 (hard limiter.) Smaller amounts of compression ratio can be achieved by inserting resistance between the output of the rectifier, and the DC input of the FET (gate.) This circuit can be used ahead of the processing in a standard exciter to add compression, or hard limiting.

Audio line isolator - If you want to do the ground loop elimination in audio path, you have to cut the galvanic connection but pass the whole audio range. The simplest and most common way to do the isolation is use audio transformer which is ment for audio use. Transformers for audio use have some problems like distorted bass response and attenuating in high-frequency response. Basically a transformer slows down upper frequencies and allow the low frequencies to pass first, creating what we perceive as a "fat/warm" tone. __ Designed by Tomi Engdahl

Audio Panner-Voltage Controlled - This circuit is used to convert a mono audio signal into a stereo signal that can be panned between the left and right channel by a 0-10V control signal, it is intended for analog synthesizer systems. The circuit is mainly here for historical reasons, a higher quality panner may be built with the National Semiconductor LM13700 dual transconductance amplifier set up as a pair of voltage controlled amplifiers. __ Designed by G.

Audio Preamplifier - A 2 stage audio pre-amplifier with very good performance. This preamplifier has two direct-coupled common emitter stages and uses series-voltage feedback. The circuit has high input impedance, low output impedance, voltage gain can be set independently and has low noise levels and good signal noise ratio. __ Designed by Andy Collison

Audio Refinement Complete integrated Amplifier - The Complete' is made to Design by Yves-Bernard Andre (YBA). My unit s/n is an early 00026, probably later copies are different from the first batch. I used the amp for two years, and the only reason to dig inside it, apart from 'how they did it' curiosity, was to disconnect the volume pot motor. It returns to zero at each power down __ Contact: klausmobile @ yahoo.Com
Audio Signal Source - This is a lovely project for home constructors keen on building their own test and measurement (T&M) equipment. It makes use of the ICL8038 signal generator chip, manufactured by Intersil. An improved version, made by Exar corp. is available (XR8038A). It can be used to produce three types of waveforms, sine, square and triangle. The frequency, amplitude and duty cycle can be varied, and selection of waveform is done digitally. __ Designed by Tony and Wilfred of Mixed Fruit Jam
Audio Spectrum Analyzer & Equalizer Designs - A spectrum analyzer can be a powerful tool for keeping your studio well tuned. Besides its obvious usesfor adjusting octave or one-third octave room equalizersa spectrum analyzer can also be used to check the response of a tape recorder, or even help identify the rumble frequencies in an air conditioner. Unfortunately for many studios, the high price of a commercial spectrum analyzer presents a major problem __ Designed by Ethan Winer

Audio Speech Processor - Although most modern HF rigs have built in speech processors, a lot of the low power SSB rigs and kits do not have any real speech processor circuitry. When one operates at low power on SSB, speech processing becomes almost essential to get through the QRM. The circuit in figure 1 is a low cost speech processor that will perform well with a minimum of construction effort. The circuit even includes the microphone element so that a complete speech processor microphone can be assembled in an old defunct desk mike __ Designed by Radio Amateur Society of Norwich
Audio Voice-Over - This is a circuit where a microphone and preamp circuit (voice circuit) have priority over any other audio signal. You can think of this as a one way intercom, if the main amplifier is used for listening to music, then when the push to talk switch is pressed, the amplifier is switched to the voice signal. __ Designed by Andy Collinson
Audio Volume Relay Attenuator with IR Control - The circuit provides both audio volume and input channel selection. A stepwise volume control is implemented with a set of small relays and resistors. In a high-end audio system, a noticable sound improvement over potentiomeneters can be obtained, also over 'audio grade'

Audison LR604XR Amplifier (Car Audio) - Of the few car amplifiers I tested, gutted, decyphered and fixed, this one seems to be the best in design quality.

Automatic Charger for Battery Operated Hi-Fi Preamps - For those who want the cleanest possible DC for sensitive preamps, battery power is ideal. At last, remembering to turn the charger back on is no longer a problem! This project is one for the experimenter, but as shown will work extremely well. The sensing circuit can be made so sensitive that a load of only 2.5mA is enough for the circuit to detect, and disconnect the charger. __ Designed by Rod Elliott ESP

Automatic Mike Muter for Singing Guitarists - The average musical Do-It-Yourselfer starts building guitar effects by making a distortion pedal of some sort. It's a good introduction to musical electronics, and pretty simple as well, since getting a circuit NOT to be linear has never been hard. But there comes a time when you have to stop thrashing the strings in your bedroom, get up on stage and *play*. When you get to there, you run into all kinds of little problems that you never encountered back in your room. __ Designed by R.G. Keen
