Tweeter Crossover circuit

Tweeter Crossover Circuit Description A single coil speaker is not good in handling high and low frequency at the same time. If we could filter out the low frequency and play it through a tweeter ,it will produce more sound quality than using a single speaker.This is what is realized here.Here the high frequencies are filtered out using a low pass filter made of C1,C2 and R1 and send to the tweeter.The low frequency is only fed to the woofer. Crossover Circuit Diagram with Parts List Notes The tweeter can be a 2 to 3 inch, 4 to 8 Ohm…

Audio Distortion Meter

Audio Distortion Meter Description Here is a simple 1KHz audio distortion meter that can measure the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) on any load at any out put power.Here you have the option to select 2,4,8 or 16 Ohm loads. The circuit works by filtering the 1 kHz fundamental signal using a notch filter comprising of L1,C2,C1,R1. With a little time and calculation you can get the correct THD of your amplifier in such a simple way. Audio Distortion Meter Circuit Diagram with Parts List . Notes Inductor L1 is a UTC VC 15 variable inductor.If this is not available try…

Audio Wattmeter Circuit

Audio Watt Meter Description This is an easy trick to measure the output of an amplifier.Here resistor R2 acts as the load for for the amp and it should be able to withstand twice the maximum power of the amp you are going to measure.The meter scale must be calibrated and with a little effort you can get good results. Audio Watt meter Circuit Diagram with Parts List. Notes If 1A bridge is not available , make one with four 1N 4007  Diodes. The resistor R2 must be twice the power of amp you are going to measure. To calibrate …
