Tone Control Circuit Using Op-Amp
Op-Amp Based Preamplifier Stage and Secondly a Passive Baxandall
Tone Control Circuitry Abstract— A tone control circuit is described which allows a the offset minimizing resistor which reduces the effect of large choice in the high- and low-frequency attenuation or boost output offset voltage on the output of the amplifier and its and in the position of the tone compensation curves over all the value is taken as approximately equal to R1||R2. The acoustic spectrum. These two controls, which are completely preamplifier stage is powered using +15/-15 dual supply. independent, are obtained with structurally simple RC networks. Capacitor C3 couples the preamplifier stage with the tone This tone control is included in a preamplifier for music control stage. reproduction. The compensation and equalization curves are reported in the paper and the characteristics of the complete preamplifier are described. (Abstract) A +15V/-15V dual supply for powering this tone control circuit is shown below. Bridge D1 can be made using four Keywords-component; formatting; style; styling; insert (key 1N4007 diodes. This supply is unregulated and its quite fine words) for this circuit.
I. INTRODUCTION The tone control stage is a passive Baxandall tone control circuit that can produce a 20dB cut or boost. POT R6 is used for controlling the bass while POT R9 can be used for controlling the treble. POT R10 serves as the volume controller while POT R11 can be used to adjust the balance. Figure 2 Dual Supply for Tone Control Circuit Resistor R8 provides some isolation between the bass control III. STEREO PREAMPLIFIER WITH TONE CONTROL and treble control stages. Here is the circuit diagram of an excellent stereo preamplifier II. THE TONE CONTROL CIRCUIT with tone control using the IC TDA1524 from Phillips. The IC The circuit consists of two parts. Firstly an op-amp based requires very few external components, has very low noise preamplifier stage and secondly a passive Baxandall tone and has a wide power supply voltage range. POTs R1 to R4 control circuitry. The preamplifier stage is a non-inverting can be used for controlling the volume, balance, bass and amplifier based on TL072. R2 is the feedback resistor which treble respectively. LED is D1 is a power ON indicator and together with resistor R1 sets the gain of this stage and with R1o is its current limiting resistor. the stated values it is 23. Voltage gain in the non-inverting mode is expressed using the equation Av= 1+ (R2/R1).

Figure 1 Passive Tone Control Circuit IV. CONCLUSION 1) We therefore conclude that the tone control provides a Value of R3 (Rin) is taken as approximately equal to the simple means of regulating the amount of higher frequencies output impedance of TL072. C2 is the input DC decoupling present in the output signal fed to the loudspeakers. a simple capacitor and it also sets the low frequency cut off limit. R4 is method of achieving this is to place a variable CR network between the voltage amplifier and the power amplifier stages, by R1, which prevents C1 being connected directly to ground. The value of C1 is chosen to pass the higher audio As the circuit only reduces the high frequency content of the frequencies, this has the effect of progressively reducing the signal it could be called a simple Treble Cut control. The use higher frequencies as the variable resistor slider is adjusted of these simple circuits is normally restricted to guitar towards the bottom end of the tone control, The minimum applications or inexpensive radios. level of attenuation of the higher (treble) frequencies is limited
