I have recently built a 12 watt amplifier spec'd by G. Randy Sloan. The problem I am having is many fold. 1.) I am not an EE and learning as I am going 2.) The amp WILL carry a signal but so far I have only been able to use it as a passive circuit. 3.)The output leads don't provide an...

I am searching for an easy solution for an exasperating nuisance. There is a public address system at work and before the start of the messaage a loud audio annunciator frequency has been added to warn people of the upcoming message and I want to locally supress it but still receive the...

I need to replace an Audio transformer, EI-19 Output Transformer. What should I replace it with? I can't find the primary to secondary ratio, or the voltage ratings. Is there something special about audio transformers compared to step up/down transformers used in AC to DC converters? If so, what...

Homework Statement I am to construct a circuit which can provide variable gain for the bass, midrange, and treble frequencies of an input. One of the stipulations is that I should use as few elements as possible. Homework Equations n/a The Attempt at a Solution Right now the only...

Simple treble and bass controls in audio equipment use RC networks that have a phase shift equal to a radian per neper, or about 6.6 degrees per dB of boost or attenuation. Are there analog treble or bass control circuits that have no phase shift?

hello do u kno of any site that offers a software to separate audio from video and allows us to play some other audio in the background..the way they do on youtube videos...?

Hi all. Anyone ever heard of a stereo earpiece? My son is deaf in one ear and when he uses headphones he looses half the sound. Ear buds are the same. only half the sound comes thru. I wonder if there is a full sound earpiece out there some where. IE both channels of sound in one earbud.

I'm working on a 'Fuzz box' for a bass guitar, ckt diagram below. With fuzz on and gains up, I'm getting a strange (to me) AC artifact -- Oscope images below (AC waveform from isolation xfmr at 10V/div, signal out at 2V/div). With fuzz on, and the input shorted to ground, the artifact is...

Hi, I am trying to get a plot of the sound's magnitude vs. frequency. I have managed to read in a wav file as a matrix. I then compute the fft of this matrix. When I plot the absolute value of this, I get a symmetric plot with peaks at the start and the end. What is this a plot of? Is it...

I came up with this idea purely because I had some free time over the weekend. Basically, I want to transmit audio signals (i.e. from a standard 1/8" audio jack) by laser (in essence, streaming it by laser to a speaker setup somewhere else). Most of my interest are not on the circuitry side of...

Hi All, we are planning to build a wireless audio transmitter. In 2.4GHz Band. I would acknowledge that this is my first audio interfacing project. So i have a lot of doubts about the way i can interface audio and stream the data out. we plan to use an audio codec which can take Mic ( line...

We're studying BJT amplifiers, and the project that I've chosen to do is to get my Ipod to to play on my music system speakers. The idea is to amplify the output signal from the ipod using a biasing circuit and transistor amplifier and use it as input for the pair of speakers. Ill most...

I have a problem with my switch mode power supply, smps. It creates audio sound when I power it up, especially at minimum load. As I increase the load then sound disappears and in some designs it is still there. I don't know what to do. It is a bottleneck for me. Anyone who knows what to do...

What are the things to try and control when attempting to burn a high quality audio CD for my CD player in my truck? I am sure there is a bit rating on the file, but are there other things that I can change to get better quality out of my burns? Do better quality CD's make a difference...

I played the audio song on my 8 Ohm audio speaker. I used my Computer Audio Port to play the song. I played that song on my speaker, it worked perfectly, but when I invert the audio signal 180' out of phase, the voice generated was the same. That is to say, when the speaker used to contract, it...

Hi, I want to get a bachelor's in physics and math, with a master's in engineering... that's the plan, but what I'm really into is high tech audio hardware; monitors, mixers, etc... I'd really like to design this type of technology---does anyone know how I would go about getting to this...

Does anyone know where I can get a good free tool that takes the audio from video. I found some but they only do 1/2 of what you want or up to 30 seconds.

Some background information: I am trying to cancel audio signal/noise in an enclosure I have constructed. I have two identical woofers positioned opposite each other in the enclosure. I have a very accurate sound level measurement microphone positioned between the two drivers. I am using sound...

Can anyone help me with a weird problem I am having on my computer? When I play a CD or DVD in my computer the sound is fine. When I try to listen to something on a website like youtube or even a file already on my hard drive, I can barely hear it. I have already checked all of the volume...

Hi, I'm designing an amplifier and need help with some basic ideas (Filtering is already taken care of). My main question is bolded. The output is an audio signal, and it drives an 8 ohm speaker. The power is 1 watt through this speaker. The input signal is coming from another amplifier...

My colleagues and I are building a phase adjuster for LFN (Low Frequency Noise) audio signals. Since we would like to be able to adjust a range of signals that encompasses a range of around 50-400 Hz, an op amp-driven, analog solution would not be economical, nor efficient. Since we need to be...

I am a MATLAB newbie, and apparently I am having a terrible day because everything that I do in MATLAB has been resulting in an error and/or undesired behavior. I am trying to write out a 'wav' file using a number of MATLAB created audio samples (simply by generating them using a sin...

Homework Statement The problem is given in the attachment below. The relevant information is provided under the "Stereo Audio" heading. Additionally, I have a couple of pieces of extra information not listed in the Stereo Audio section: M is the component of (column vector) [R, L] on...

Is anyone currently researching the inner monologue? Where can I find information about experiments to alter the inner monologue? Are there any websites which have "audio tools" which, when listened to, can positively alter the tone and function of the inner monologue? Cheers,

how to amplify audio? i have a small mono speaker bigger than a headphone roughly the size of the cheap ones one get with a pc.the problem is that i want to amplfy it using pencil cells.Its just to listen to my ipod while traveling without using my earphones.without the amplifier the sound...

My friend and I wondered this in junior high school: since a record (as in the kind played on a record player) or an audio tape turns at the same speed, doesn't the head reading the record or audio tape move faster on the outer edge? This means that the sound recording is more tightly...

MY COMPUTER PLAYS ALL AUDIO TO FAST HOW TO SLOW IT DOWN?:smile:

Help please, is there such a thing as a wireless web cam that i can just use with out any mods or additions to my desk top? I need one with good picture and audio quality, and i need it to work 4yrds from the desk top. If there is no such thing can some one recommend a standard one for up to £50?

My understanding of a passive summing mixer is to use series resistors to limit the voltage from multiple sources so as to not over drive the destination? If you are combining two audio channels say from a VCR and jumper the left and right channel will this have serious reprocutions for the...

Does anybody know how to export audio from a .VOB file and still have it match the video? I'm able to export 6 tracks of audio from a stereo .VOB file but (perhaps because of a difference in frame rate) the audio comes out slightly longer than the .VOB file and I can't get it to match up...

Hello guys, I'm looking for an application to capture audios from videos, best if into .mp3 format. It'd also be great if I can modify quality by myself. I'd rather prefer it to be free, but doesn't have to. Thanks,

heya, recently i had to have a buddy of mine kill my comp and install windows 98se, now i got mostly everything working except the audio device, i think maybe even my video isa bit screwy...anyway igotta p3, 733mhz, 158mb ram, intel graphics controller which Used to work withan intel 82810...

Hi, I'm new here. can somebody put here an a schematic of Class AB, D,G or T. I need an audio amplifier that work with bjt and mosfet simultaneously, i think that kind of amplifier is class g, but I'm not sure,for example i saw an 5000w amplifier with 2sc5200 and his pnp pair working with...

Hello everyone. I have been roaming around these forums but just finally decided to join. I did not exactly know where to post this so bare with me if you will. Anyways, I am in my second freshman semester as an EE undergrad and I am taking Honors Physics II. As a requirement of this...

Can anyone recommend an application for PC that can take an audio recording, perform a Fourier transform, and return the audio recordings' frequency spectrum AND phase information? I can find plenty of programs that return the frequency spectrum, but I've had no luck finding one that...

Does anyone happen to know where I can purchase dual pair audio wire for use with rca connectors. In the event that you are puzzled I'm speaking of the audio cable like the one you have to connect your dvd player to your television, but without the connectors. I can only seem to find single pair...

Heu does anyone know of any quality physics radio stations or different lessons of maybe even books read as mp3s or such that you could post some links to?

I'm looking for a good headphone audio system for my desktop that incorporates a USB DAC to plug into my computer, an amp and a comfortable pair of headphones. The amp should use transistor technology and be class A or AB. In terms of the headphone I'm looking for a closed design that is...

Hi. I am designing a very basic audio mixer circuit for use in my car before my amplifier. I need to mix one mono signal, and three stereo signals. I think my diagram is basically correct so far: http://img464.imageshack.us/img464/7110/mixer9lb.jpg I plan to measure the average...

I'm just curious as to if there are any physics audio tapes (CDs, mp3s, cassette, or whatever else) out there. It takes me about an hour to drive to work & then back. Just seems such a waste to not use that time :smile:. These could be lectures, learning, etc. that would be prefably intro to...

Ok I suspect it may be pointless to post here considering the bad rap that BASIC gets. I have a fair amount of BASIC experience in instrument control. I started out with Commodore BASIC and moved up through QBASIC and Quick BASIC (yes there is a difference) and through Visual BASIC 6.0. BASIC...
