Preamplifier With Adjustment Tone

pada tanggal
Overview
The use of Motorola TCA5500 in this circuit is for the functionality of a tone adjustment which will be implemented in a stereo preamplifier.

Terminology
Preamplifier (pre-amp) - a device normally used together with the sound equipment to be of assistance in improving the overall quality of sound by detecting and strengthening weak signals for subsequent and more powerful amplification stages and processing
TCA5500 – a single chip stereo balance, volume, bass & treble control circuit designed for use in radios, TV, and audio systems with features of low output impedance, wide dynamic voltage range, more than 75dB of volume control, +14dB, wide power supply tolerance, better channel separation, low distortion, tone control defined by a single external capacitor, and four high impedance DC controls
Circuit Explanation

The circuit was formed by using a few components and resources, since there are instances or applications that would require the use of simple preamplifier circuit. This circuit uses the services of an operational amplifier which is a DC coupled high gain electronic voltage amplifier with differential inputs, large voltage gain, very high input impedance, low output impedance and usually a single output. The brand of op-amp pertains to IC1 Motorola TCA5500. It contains a dual amplifier which will serve as the outputs for adjusting the VOLUME by potentiometer RV1, BALANCE by RV2, TREBLE by RV3, and BASS by RV4.

The line of monophonic linear potentiometers is responsible for the adjustment of all the parameters, which increases the facility and spacing of the assembly. The location of the potentiometers should be near the IC1 as much as possible. This is to reduce or decrease the occurrence of unwanted noise and other types of distortion. In order for the circuit to function well, it will not require a large amount of current.

Application
The tone control preamplifier with volume, balance, treble, and bass have been available in the market for so many years. Some designs can emit a very low noise and features a wide range of amplification and attenuation. It can be used as software which can be loaded into mobile phones to provide the control of the parameters as compared to the desktop’s continuous and real time control of the audio functions. The controls can be used while playing computer games, listening to MP3s, and plating audio CDs. Modern electric guitars are now using these parameters for proper adjustments of tones.
