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 uses a 741 operational amplifier […]

Audio-Controlled Incandescent Lamp Light Controller

This is a audio-controlled lamp circuit. This circuit requires low voltage input such as pre-amplifiers, tone control, or general audio line level output. It’s also possible to feed the input with signal from small power amplifier output, or high power amplifier witk low volume level. The characteristic of lamp dimming (incandescent lamp) will look like coming from proportional controller since […]

Microphone Pre-Amplifier with Tone Control

Microphone can’t be directly connected to a power amplifier because the signal is too weak. Standard audio power amplifier accept about 1 Vrms to give a full volume (maximum power), and off course there’s such microphone has such high level output. To provide signal with high enough amplitude, we can use a pre-amplifier circuit shown in the schematic diagram below: […]

Door Intercom

Door intercom is very useful for home security. If you receive a door knock or door bell/alarm, you can push this intercom knob and ask the guest  to identify his/her self, before deciding to open the door to welcome. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: To install this door intercom, except for right side speaker, you should place […]

Low Noise Microphone Pre-Amp with Op-Amp

Microphone pre-amp is a very simple circuit, most all low noise op-amp will be sufficient for this circuit (TL071, TL082, OPA371, NE5534, etc). This circuit will be suitable for dynamic microphone, electret microphone (or a condenser microphone with active circuit inside). A condenser microphone (without voltage bias source) won’t work for this circuit. If you want to use it, you […]
