CD ROM Drive as Digital Audio CD Player - (electronic Circuit / Schematic added 10/04)

CD/DVD Drive - Intersil Application Block Diagram  (app note added 6/06)

Cheap Audio Booster - ….(electronic schematic added 08/08)

CMoy Headphone Amplifier - CMoy is very simple portable headphone amplifier. The amplifier was originally posted by Chu Moy on headwize.com. The best source of information about this amplifier is article How to Build the CMoy Pocket Amplifier. If you use Google, you will find many pages and pictures about CMoy. Few months ago I decided built this amplifier also. In my post you can find my experience with creating this simple but very good amplifier. ….(electronic schematic added 11/08)

CobraNet Audio Routing Primer - (app note added 5/08)

CobraNet-Diagnosing Audio Drop-outs, With Solutions - (app note added 5/08)

Color Organ (Aaron Cake) - Anyone who has been to a night club, concert or school dance has probobly seen a colour organ. Colour organs cause lights to blink and flash to music from your TV, stereo, guitar and even your own voice. The colour organ presented here needs no connection to the sound source, it picks up sound from its built in microphone.  (added 04/03/02)

Color Organ (Luhan Monat) - This unit uses a PIC16F84 with an 8 bit A/D.  The signal from both stereo channels is combined and digitized.  Each of 5 frequency bands is processed using a 16 point FFT.  Then the level of each channel is output as PWM (pulse width modulation) to a set of solid state relays.….(design added 08/08)

Color Organ (Randy Linscott) - I have had many requests for this circuit. It was a very popular unit years ago. The basic idea of the project is to make different colored bulbs light at different frequencies of music. The circuit connects to the speaker outputs of your stereo ….(added 08/08/08)

Color Organ Circuit - An old ideabut I've had numerous requests for a good design for this....(electronic circuit added 10/06)

Color Organ Light - This circuit works REALLY well. Notice how it will fire even in complete silence. This provides a sort of automatic gain control.  (added 2/05)

Colour (Sound) Organ (Aaron Cake) - Anyone who has been to a night club, concert or school dance has probobly seen a colour organ. Colour organs cause lights to blink and flash to music from your TV, stereo, guitar and even your own voice. The colour organ presented here needs no connection to the sound source, it picks up sound from its built in microphone.  (added 04/03/02)

(added 05/09)

Condenser microphone hookup - ASCII format (circuit diagram added 2/07)

Connect Line-Level Signal to Phono Input  - The circuit does two functions: signal level attenuation and inverse RIAA filtering. The signal attenuation is needed to convert the 500 mV signal to 2.5 mV signal. The inverse-RIAA filtering is needed to make the frequency response of the system flat (same equalization that is used when music is transferred to vinyl in the studio). The picture blow shows the frequency response of the ideal inverse-RIAA filter (added 11/05)

Connecting Speaker Signals to Line Level Inputs - The circuit is designed to work with typical HIFI amplifiers where negative speaker connector (black) is connected to amplifier ground. Be careful here because some modern amps have both terminals actively driven. Connecting either one to a common reference could cause the output stage to smoke....  (added 11/05)

DC Fault Protection Circuit for Audio Amplifiers - Circuit ideas how to replace traditional CD protection relays with MOSFETs (added 4/02)

DC-Coupled, Selectable-Gain Headphone Amplifier - This headphone amplifier features selectable gain for compatibility with different headphone impedances (and efficiencies). It has two gain stages. The first design I considered had only one gain stage, but I modified it because feeding a gain stage from a high source impedance (such as a high value pot) adds .....  Designed by Chester Simpson  (circuit design added 04/05/06)

Delay Unit For Surround Sound - The Mitsubishi M65830 Delay IC has been discontinued (for reasons beyond my comprehension), and so far a suitable replacement device has not been found. This means (of course) that you will be unable to build this delay circuit. I have left the project in place as reference, and the overall connection schematic is still valid if (when?) a replacement for the M65830 is located. The project will be updated at that time. In the meantime, just ignore the delay circuit .... (diagram added 2/07)

Design makes handy audible circuit tracer - 01/09/03 EDN-Design Ideas: The circuit tracer in Figure 1 is a handy tool for finding connectivity paths on a pc board. Because the sense voltage you use to measure the path is lower than a transistor's VBE voltage, you can use the design (adden 02/05)

Digital Delay Unit For Surround Sound - The Mitsubishi M65830 Digital Delay IC has been discontinued (for reasons beyond my comprehension), and so far a suitable replacement device has not been found. This means (of course) that you will be unable to build this delay circuit. I have left the project in place as reference, and the overall connection schematic is still valid if (when?) a replacement for the M65830 is located. The project will be updated at that time. In the meantime, just ignore the delay circuit .... (diagram added 2/07)

FXBus-an Effects Experimenter's Delight! - Like to build guitar effects? Want a cleaner way to experiment than perfboarding each new one? You'll love FXBus.….(circuit design added 04/05/06)

GainClone Amplifier 1 - The amp is based on the Project 19 PCB, so uses a pair of LM3876 (or LM3886) power opamps, run from a ±35V supply. I used a cut-down P88 preamp PCB because I only wanted one preamplifier stage, but the entire board can also be used. Alternatively,….(added 07/07/07)
