Discrete Bass Booster Circuit

This bass booster circuit can be used filter the input signal as part of internal circuit of an active subwoofer circuit. This circuit is not only boost the bass (low) frequency, but also attenuate high frequency as well. You might consider this circuit as low pass filter, since the high frequency response is not flat, not really as expected in […]

Digitally Controlled Phase Shifter

As shown in a schematic diagram below, this circuit implementation of phase shifter circuit  is well suited to using digital potentiometer  to control the resistive control element of  the phase shifter. The phase at a given frequency is now under control of a digital signal using this circuit which is optimized for phase-shifting over the audio range. By using a […]

Bandpass Filter’s Gyrator Frequency Calculator

Gyrators are synthetic inductors, which are often used to form bandpass filters. As shown in the two examples here, the active buffering device can be a transistor or op-amp. This type of bandpass filter is commonly used in graphic equalizers and other frequency control circuits such as tone controls. In the gyrator frequency calculator here, enter the values of R1, […]

Passive Baxandall Tone Control (2 Band Equalizer)

Variation of the famous Baxandall circuit is shown in the passive circuit in figure 1. Smoothly increasing +- 6 dB/octave slope of boost or cut is the feature of this circuit. Although the “shelves” are outside the audible range with these component values, the bass and treble filters have a shelving response. The threshold and shelving frequencies is predicted by […]
