Stereo Preamplifier With Bass Boost

High Quality, simple design, DC 20v to 30v supply

This preamplifier was designed to cope with CD players, tuners, tape recorders etc., providing an ac voltage gain of 4, in order to drive less sensitive power amplifiers. As modern Hi-Fi home equipment is frequently fitted with small loudspeaker cabinets, the bass frequency range is rather sacrificed. This circuit features also a bass-boost, in order to overcome this problem. You can use a variable resistor to set the bass-boost from 0 to a maximum of +16dB @ 30Hz. If a fixed, maximum boost value is needed, the variable resistor can be omitted and substituted by a switch.

Stereo Preamplifier With Bass Boost Circuit diagram:

Parts:
P1 = 10K
P2 = 100K
R1 = 100K
R2 = 100K
R3 = 15K
R4 = 10K
R5 = 22K
R6 = 15K
R7 = 1K
R8 = 470R
C1 = 2.2uF-25v
C2 = 2.2uF-25v
C3 = 470uF-35v
C4 = 1uF-35V
C5 = 2.2uF-25v
C6 = 47nF-63v
C7 = 22uF-25v
IC1 = TL072, Opamp
SW1 = DPST Switch
Notes:

Schematic shows left channel only, but R1, R2, R3 and C1, C2, C3 are common to both channels.
For stereo operation P1, P2 (or SW1), R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 and C4, C5, C6, C7 must be doubled.
Numbers in parentheses show IC1 right channel pin connections.
A log type for P2 ensures a more linear regulation of bass-boost.
Needing a simple boost-in boost-out operation, P2 must be omitted and SW1 added as shown in the diagram.
For stereo operation SW1 must be a DPST type.
Please note that, using SW1, the boost is on when the switch is open, and off when the switch is closed.

Balanced Microphone Preamplifier

The preamplifier is intended for use with dynamic (moving coil–MC) microphones with an impedance up to 200 Ω and balanced terminals. It is a fairly simple design, which may also be considered as a single stage instrument amplifier based on a Type NE5534 op amp. To achieve maximum common-mode rejection (CMR) with a balanced signal, the division ratios of the dividers (R1-R4 and R2-R5 respectively) at the inputs of the op amp must be identical. Since this may be difficult to achieve in practice, a preset potentiometer, P1, is connected in series with R5. The preset enables the common-mode rejection to be set optimally. Capacitor C1 prevents any direct voltage at the input, while resistor R7 ensures stability of the amplifier with capacitive loads.

Power Supply For Balanced Microphone Preamplifier

Resistor R3 prevents the amplifier going into oscillation when the input is open circuit. If the microphone cable is of reasonable length, R3 is not necessary, since the parasitic capacitance of the cable ensures stability of the amplifier. It should be noted, however, that R3 improves the CMR from >70 dB to >80 dB. Performance of the preamplifier is very good. The THD+N (total harmonic distortion plus noise) is smaller than 0.1% with an input signal of 1 mV and a source impedance of 50 Ω. Under the same conditions, the signal-to-noise ratio is –62.5 dBA. With component values as specified, the gain of the amplifier is 50 dB (´316). After careful adjustment of P1 at 1 kHz, the CMR, without R3, is 120 dB. The supply voltage is ±15 V. The amplifier draws a current at that voltage of about 5.5 mA. Note the decoupling of the supply lines with L1, L2, C2–C5.
