Dynamic speech compressor with audio preamplifier

Dynamic-compressor-with-audio-preamplifier

Dynamic speech compressor or simply audio compression is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds, therefore reducing or compressing an audio signal’s dynamic range. Compression is commonly used in sound recording and reproduction, broadcasting, hearing aid, live sound reinforcement, and in some instrument amplifiers. There are …

Simple series modulated AM QRP HF Transmitter

Simple series modulated AM QRP HF Transmitter

A simple series modulated AM QRP HF transmitter is a type of radio transmitter that uses amplitude modulation (AM) to transmit audio signals over a high frequency (HF) radio band. It is designed to be low-power and simple to construct, making it a good choice for beginners or those who want to build a QRP …

OXO QRP HF Transmitter

OXO-QRP-HF-Transmitter

The OXO QRP HF transmitter is a simple, low-power CW (continuous wave) transmitter designed by George Burt, GM3OXX. It is a single-band transmitter that can be built to operate on any of the amateur radio bands from 160 to 20 meters. The transmitter is built around a few standard transistors and a crystal oscillator. It …

Simple audio compressor for SSB HF Radio rigs

Simple audio compressor for SSB HF rigs - PCB Layout

Simple audio compressor for SSB HF Radio rigs An audio/speech compressor is a device that reduces the dynamic range of the audio signal. This means that it makes the loud parts of the signal quieter and the quiet parts of the signal louder. This can be useful for SSB HF radio rigs because it can …

NE555 based Microphone amplifier

NE555 based Microphone amplifier

NE555 based Microphone amplifier IC NE555 or commonly known as 555 is an IC that is well known among electronics practitioners as an IC for timers, and can be used to form monostable or bistable multivibrator circuits. But not many know that the 555 IC can also be used as an  audio signal amplifier. By …

LM324 microphone speech compressor

LM324 Microphone speech compressor-PCB layout

The circuit shown is a microphone speech compressor built around operational amplifier LM324. This amplifier circuit exhibits gain and also continually adjusts that gain to maintain a constant amplitude output signal, regardless of the amount of signal coming from the microphone. The microphone is coupled to the LM324 Operational Amplifier IC which has 4 separate …

Really Cheap audio compressor

Really-cheap-compressor-circuit

The Really cheap audio compressor circuit diagram from www.freestompboxes.org is a simple, yet effective compressor circuit that can be built with a handful of cheap components. The circuit consists of two op-amps, two LEDs, a LDR, a few resistors, and a capacitor. The first op-amp (U1) is configured as a unity gain amplifier. The input …

SSM2167 audio processor for Baofeng Mic enclosure

SSM2167 audio processor for Baofeng Mic enclosure Mic gain is barely adequate on the µBITx transceiver since there is no Mic Gain control. It would also be helpful to not only provide mic gain control, but to add compression in order to boost the average power output.The SSM2167 is a powerful audio processor that can …
