Subwoofer filter LM 741

Description for Subwoofer filter LM 741:
     If you like I want some more bass in your stereo, you can switch a subwoofer there. This is a speaker that only reflects the bass. Below is a circuit to ensure that the subwoofer gets really only the bass. 
This circuit is used between the signal source (mixer, CD player) and the amplifier. It is an active filter, better than passive filters which are generally mounted behind the amplifier. The circuit is mono because the bass for both channels are equal. The human ear can not yet determine the direction of this bass. 
The first 741 is used as a mixer amplifier. The gain is adjustable with P1. Then, the signal is applied to a second of the order Butterworth-filter. C A(C1 + C2) and C B (C3) can be calculate using the following formulas: where F k , the crossover frequency (the frequency at which filter stops the transmission of sound), pi = 3.1416, R = R3 = R4, F k in Hertz, and C. F. As shown, the filter is now set at 240 Hz. , the supply voltage must be symmetrical, + and - 12-15 V. A suitable diet is the Symmetric mini power supply . If you would like a better sound would have you two 741's replaced by an NE5532. The picture for the layout to be printed at 150DPI (= + / - 33x33mm).

  1. Hey! If I replace the 741 for a 5532, do the pinouts remain the same?

    1. Hello Sebastian,
      not remain the same, please read the Datasheet for both circuits, I am added the datasheet in posts. Thanks for question.

200W Hybrid Audio Amplifier Circuit

200W Hybrid Audio Amplifier Circuit - c onnecting two TDA2030 thru cheap power transistors we can create a amplifier wich can deliver a higher power. With the components value from the schematic the total amplifier gain is 32 dB. The speaker can be 2 ohm instead of 4 ohm if we use the TIP transistors. TDA 2030 is produced by SGS Ates and is a complete audio amplifier. AB class of the final amplifier cand deliver up to 14W on 4 ohm at a +-14V power supply. With a proper designed power supply this audio amplifier can output 200W. Active components: IC1, Ic2 TDA 2030 T1, T3 = BD 250, TIP 36 T2,T4 = BD 249, TIP 35 D1 … D4 = 1N4001 200W Hybrid Audio Amplifier Circuit

2 x 15 W stereo Bridge Tied Load (BTL) audio amplifier

General description: The TDA8946J is a dual-channel audio power amplifier with an output power of 2 × 15 W at an 8 Ω load and a 18 V supply. The circuit contains two Bridge Tied Load (BTL) amplifiers with an all-NPN output stage and standby/mute logic. The TDA8946J comes in a 17-pin DIL-bent-SIL (DBS) power package. The TDA8946J is printed-circuit board (PCB) compatible with all other types in the TDA894x family. One PCB footprint accommodates both the mono and the stereo products. Features: Few external components Fixed gain Standby and mute mode No on/off switching plops Low standby current High supply voltage ripple rejection Outputs short-circuit protected to ground, supply and across the load Thermally protected Printed-circuit board compatible Circuit Diagram: Circuit Diagram for 2 x 15 W stereo Bridge Tied Load (BTL) audio amplifier PCB layout: PCB layout TDA8946 Datasheet for TDA8946J:   Download
