53 dB Stereo Preamp for Tape or Phonographs

With the circuit shown in the following schematic diagram, both channels of this stereo preamp is constructed using RCA CA3052 quad AC amplifier. this pre-amplifier circuit is featured with tone control (bass – treble). Make a similar circuit to complete the other channel, since the circuit for left and right channel are similar. To be …[Read More]
Simple 9V Wireless Microphone FM Transmitter

This FM transmitter circuit can be used as a wireless microphone, can be received by an ordinary 88- to 108-MHz FM broadcast receiver. For the power supply, this transmitter circuit is powered by a 9 V battery. To comply with the radiation limit of FCC rules, keep the antenna length under 12 inches. L1 is …[Read More]

Small audio amplifier is useful for audio troubleshooting or simple audio projects. It should be a low cost and easy to build. Using integrated circuit for this purpose is the right choice. With LM380 audio amplifier integrated circuit, 2 Watts power can be delivered. For better thermal endurance, a large copper track can be printed …[Read More]
Simple Theremin with Inverter Gates

This simple but complete Theremin circuit is constructed using only two inverter chip plus one regulator IC. This Theremin circuit consist of five functional blocks: power supply regulator, hand controlled oscillator, null oscillator, mixer, and filter. Here is the complete schematic diagram: Voltage Regulator and Circuit Protector The power supply regulator consist of …[Read More]
Sound-Controlled Relay

This is a relay circuit that detect the presence of sound to activate the relay. You can use this sound-controlled relay as voice operated switch, light control, toys, or any other application that can be controlled by a switch. Just replace the switch with this relay and now you have a sound-controlled device. This circuit …[Read More]
Optical Theremin

Normally, Theremin works by detecting hand proximity using capacitive coupling method. A Theremin circuit shown in the schematic diagram below use different method to control the pitch. The oscillator of this tone generator, both the volume and frequency are controlled using LDRs, a light sensitive electronic component, so we can call this circuit an optical …[Read More]
Simple Digital Theremin

Theremin circuit shown in this schematic diagram uses digital component, so we can call it a digital Theremin. This circuit employs logic inverter 74C04 or CD4069 hex inverter and CD4046 phase-locked-loop (PLL) IC. The CD4069 logic inverter is operated as a fixed-frequency oscillator with frequency around 100kHz. The CD4046 is operated as a variable frequency …[Read More]
