CMoy Headphone Amplifier CMoy is a very simple and portable headphone amplifier. The amplifier was originally posted by Chu Moy on headwize.com. Headphones amplifiers are usually used when the output of a device is to low for the kind of headphones you’re using, or to get better sound quality by keeping the device on a medium volume setting and amplifying the sound with the headphone amplifier. I’ve not build this amplifier so far, so i cant tell you from my personal experience if it sounds good or bad, but from what i read on the internet, users that build it are very happy with the results. The schematic is very simple, parts are easy accessible so it should go really smooth with the building process if you decide to do it. The MP3 stick (DIY/Homemade MP3 player) The MP3stick is a simple and small portable MP3 player. A microcontroller Atmel AVR ATmega128 is the heart of the circuit. MP3 decoding is done by an VLSI VS1011b decoder IC. A MMC/SD card works as memory medium for MP3 files, playlist files and skin files. The player is designed to draw his power from a LiIo/LiPo battery with 3.6V. a charger cicuit, based on MAX1811, is included. All information will be shown on a Nokia color LCD with 128×128 pixel and 256 colors. The player will work in text-only mode and if a skin file is available, also with nice graphic skins. A docking port allows outside connectivity for serial control signals, audio signals and charger voltage input. FM Crystal Radios I have heard, even from a physicist, that it is impossible to build FM crystal radios. On the other hand some experimenters claim that they have built them. This argument intrigued me to try and build an FM crystal radio, which I have done successfully. To my surprise, the result is an astounding performer, pulling in four local stations in Tucson. When connected as a receiver to a good sound system the sound fidelity is as good or better than more expensive AM radios. In fact, it sounds “high-fidelity”. 100W Guitar Amplifier Mk II This amp is rated at 100W into a 4 Ohms load, as this is typical of a “combo” type amp with two 8 Ohm speakers in parallel. Alternatively, you can run the amp into a “quad” box (4 x 8 Ohm speakers in series parallel and will get about 60 Watts. For the really adventurous, 2 quad boxes and the amp head will provide 100W, but will be much louder than the twin. This is a common combination for guitarists, but it does make it hard for the sound guy to bring everything else up to the same level. [via] 200W Audio Amplifier This complete high quality, low noise mono audio power amplifier is based around the Hybrid Integrated Circuit STK4050 manufactured by Sanyo. The circuit incorporates volume and has a maximum music output power of 200W.The circuit incorporates an on board power supply; therefore, only centre tapped transformer is required to power the circuit. I t has very good quality sound. U can use it with your Home Theatre your PC & etc… You can also use it as Subwoofer Amplifier. It is a compact package for THIN-TYPE Audio sets. Easy Heatsink design to disperse heat generated in THIN-TYPE audio sets. Constant-Current circuit to Reduce supply switch-ON and switch-OFF shock noise. External supply switch-On and switch-OFF shock noise muting, Load short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown and other circuits can be tailored-designed. 20W Audio Amplifier using LM1875 20W Audio Amplifier kit is based on LM1875 IC. * Power supply - 48 VDC * Output - 20 W, 4 Ω * Very low distortion (THD - 0.015%), good channel separation and ripple rejection * IC built-in thermal, short circuit protections * Internal output protection diodes * Terminal pins for connecting input * Power Battery Terminal (PBT) for easy power supply and speaker connection * Power-On LED indicator * Heatsink for IC * Four mounting holes of 3.2 mm each with nut and stud * PCB dimensions 48 mm x 60 mm A4 Power Amplifier As the stunningly original name suggests, the A4 contains 4 separate power amplifiers. This unit offers great flexibility - the following modes of operation are available: * Four-channel 50 watts per channel operation for surround-sound or multi-room operation. * Two-channel bi-amped mode, for suitably bi-wireable loudspeakers. * Two channel Bridged mode, offering around 150 watts per channel. USB powered power amplifier for your PC I faced this article when I was looking for simple solution how to increase the output of my integrated sound card of my PC. I don’t know why, but the sound level of it decreased so I can’t normally listen with my headphones. So this article is about how to increase the power of your PC sound card by using minimal amount of parts and USB power supply. This audio amplifier uses TDA7053 which is an integrated class-B stereo power amplifier in a 16-lead dual-in-line (DIL) plastic package. Which requires minimal amount of external parts. Arduino Sound Part 3. Playing a Melody This is the third in a series of articles about generating sound with an Arduino. In this article we bit-bang our way through Jingle Bells . It’s almost Christmas so why not make a festive microcontroller project? If your not up to speed on making sound with the Arduino read the first two articles in this series. Arduino Sound Part 1 - Sound Generation Methods Arduino Sound Part 2 - Hello World Class A headphone amplifier in a CD-ROM case This is a simple do-it-yourself (DIY) headphone amplifier project that is fashioned primarily after the Class A MOSFET Headphone Driver project by Greg Szekeres and to some extent Mark’s DIY Class A 2SK1058 MOSFET Amplifier Project. The amplifier concept is simple and follows a typical single-ended class A circuit utilizing an active constant current source (CCS) in place of a passive resistor. A CCS doubles the efficiency of the circuit over that where a passive load resistor is used, bringing it to a maximum of 25%. |
