555 Timer MonoStable Circuit using Pushbutton - The two circuits above illustrate
using the 555 timer to close a relay for a predetermined amount of time by pressing a
momentary N/O push button. The circuit on the left can be used for long time periods
where the push button can be pressed and released before the end of the timing period.
For shorter periods, a capacitor can be used to isolate the switch....(schematic added

A Stereo Digital Volume Control based on the CS3310 - The CS3310 is a complete
stereo digital volume control designed specifically for audio systems. It features a
16-bit serial interface that controls two independent, lowdistortion audio channels.
The CS3310 includes an array of well-matched resistors and a low noise active output
stage....(data sheet added 07/07) |

Audio Level Meter - 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.....(schematic design added 7/03) |

Audio level meter VU Meter - This circuit uses just one IC and a very few number
of external components. It displays audio level in terms of 10 LEDs. The input
voltage can vary from 12V to 20V, but suggested voltage is 12V. The LM3915 is a
monolithic integrated circuit that senses analog voltage levels and drives ten LEDs
providing a logarithmic 3 dB/step analog display. LED current drive....(added 9/06) |

Audio Tone Controls - Many people at one time or other, regardless of their
interest in electronics, have adjusted these controls to suit their preference.
Whether its to boost the bass of their favorite CD, cut the noise / static on a talk
radio station or compensate for poor loud speaker response, they've reached for the
treble and bass tone controls. The ni....(circuit diagram added 02/09) |

Baxqandall Tone Control
Circuit - This is the most common of all modern tone control circuits, and was
named after PJ Baxandall who came up with the idea many years ago. The original design

Beetle Mk III - This project is based on our most stable FM transmitter. It has a
number of features, with a volume control to adjust the input level and a small, neat
box to make it easier to attach to a guitar. The volume control is positioned at the
end and when turned up fully, the transmitter provides fuzz (distortion).

Build a Simple Soft Action Muting Switch - 10/14/04 EDN-Design Ideas: The circuit
in Figure 1 adds a soft muting switch with power-up/power-down muting to a line-level
audio circuit. R4, C1, and JFET Q1 quietly ground a signal in 100 to 200 msec when you
close S1 or release it when you open S1. Potentiometer R2, set to twice Q1's cutoff
voltage, makes on/off transition.....(design idea added 10/05) |

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

Digital Volume Control has Log Taper - 04/11/02 EDN-Design Ideas: Digital
potentiometers provide a compact and convenient way to attenuate audio-amplifier
signals. However, most such potentiometers suffer from at least one flaw: a
nonlogarithmic step increment. To avoid this problem, a user must usually step the
potentiometer in a nonlinear sequence to simulate a logarithmic taper.....(design idea
