Pure Class A Headphone Amplifier Circuit Schematic

Image
Description  This design is derived from the Portable Headphone Amplifier featuring an NPN/PNP compound pair emitter follower output stage. An improved output driving capability is gained by making this a push-pull Class-A arrangement. Output power can reach 427mW RMS into a 32 Ohm load at a fixed standing current of 100mA. The single voltage gain stage allows the easy implementation of a shunt-feedback circuitry giving excellent frequency stability.  Tilt control:   The mentioned shunt-feedback configuration also allows the easy addition of frequency dependent networks in order to obtain an useful, unobtrusive, switchable Tilt control (optional). When SW1 is set in the first position a gentle, shelving bass lift and treble cut is obtained. The central position of SW1 allows a flat frequency response, whereas the third position of this switch enables a shelving treble lift and bass cut. Circuit Diagram:  Parts P1 = 22K Dual gang Log Potentiometer (ready for Stereo) R...

This is the Strong Headphone Amplifier Circuit Diagram. Some lovers of High Fidelity headphone listening prefer the use of battery powered headphone amplifiers, not only for portable units but also for home "table" applications. This design is intended to fulfill their needs. An improved output driving capability is gained by making this a push-pull Class-B arrangement. Output power can reach 100mW RMS into a 16 Ohm load at 6V supply with low standing and mean current consumption, allowing long battery duration.   Circuit diagram: High Quality Headphone Amplifier Circuit Diagram   Parts: Resistors: P1 = 22K Potentiometer R1 = 15K Resistor R2 = 100K Resistor R3 = 100K Resistor R4 = 47K Resistor R5 = 470R Resistor R6 = 500R Resistor R7 = 1K Resistor R8 = 18K Resistor R9 = 18K Resistor R10 = 2.2R Resistor R11 = 2.2R Resistor R12 = 33R Resistor R13 = 4.7K Resistor Capacitors: C1 = 10uF-25V Capacitors C2 = 10uF-25V Capacitors C3 = 100nF-63V (PF) C4 = 220uF-25V Capacitors C5 = 100n...

A Headphone Monitoring Switch

Image
In any recording situation, monitoring is critical to make sure you're getting what you want on tape. This is just as true in field recording, but in most cases, one's monitoring options are severely limited--stereo headphone is the only choice. Headphone Monitoring Switch  : Since I often use dual-mono mics, hearing a stereo feed of the two is not always convenient. I wanted the option to hear JUST the left mic in BOTH ears, or just the right mic in both ears, as well as a normal stereo signal. This is simple enough to do with a big rotary switch. When completed, you can create a little box that your headphones plug into, which in turn is plugged into the stereo phone output of your deck. Then, by turning the knob on the switch box, you can hear normal stereo, left-only mono, right-only mono, left+right mono and even left-right reversed stereo (or normal stereo again).  Note the use of summing resistors in the left+right mono section. This was an attempt to prevent the two ...

Headphone Amplifier with IR Communication

Image
This low cost project can be used to reproduce an audio from TV without creating any disturbance from other people. No wire will be used by the circuit between the TV and the headphone because instead of using wires, it utilizes the invisible infrared light for the transmission of audio signals from the TV going to the headphone. The range that can be covered can reach up to 6 meters without using any lens but if required, the range can be made to extend with the use of lenses and reflectors with transmitters and receivers that comprise the IR sensors. Headphone Amplifier with IR Communication Circuit diagram Two series connected IR LEDS are being driven by the two-stage transmitter amplifier that uses the IR transmitter. The audio output from TV to the IR transmitter is coupled by using an audio output transformer that is reversely connected. The audio signals are amplified by the transistors BC547 & BD140. These audio signals are received from TV through the low output impedance ...

Wireless IR Headphone Transmitter

Audio input from PL1 frequency modulates the VCO section of a 4046 PLL chip. The VCO output drives Q1, a switching transistor. Q1 drives two IR LEDs. The signal produced is around 100 kHz, FM carrier VCO sensitivity is around 7.5 kHz/V. Wireless IR Headphone Transmitter Circuit Schematic

Studio Series Stereo Headphone Amplifier

Image
A top-class unit for the audio enthusiast! Here's a top-class headphone amplifier that can drive high or low impedance 'phones to full power levels, with very low noise and distortion. For best performance, it can be teamed with the Stereo Preamplifier described last month. Alternatively, it can be used as a standalone unit, requiring only a power supply and a volume control pot for use with any line-level signal source (CD/MP3 player etc). It even includes dual outputs, so you can listen with a friend! Picture of the circuit: Many of our high-power audio amplifier designs already provide an output for headphones. The additional circuitry required for headphone support is simple; just two resistors in series with the loudspeaker outputs to limit the drive current and protect the ’phones in the case of amplifier failure. Considering its simplicity, this resistive limiting scheme works well, although it will cause distortion if the load is non-linear – a likely prospect with most...
