If you are looking for High quality tone control circuit diagram. This may be the best choice for you. Because it uses all low noise transistors. The circuit is designed to adjust a smooth bass, and treble is soft sound with very low distortion.
Special feature
- Use low noise transistors
- Frequency response range: 20Hz-20KHz
- Total Harmonic Distortion Noise 0.001% at frequencies 20Hz-20KHz
- Maximum output voltage 14Vrms at frequencies 20Hz-20KHz
- Input sensitivity is 50mV
- The increase / decrease rate of bass : +/- 17dB at 20 Hz
- The increase / decrease rate of treble : +/- 17dB at 20KHz
Recommend: Active Bass Boost circuit using IC-741
How it works
See the audio tone control circuit below.
Hi-Fi Preamplifier with tone control using low noise
The transistors Q1, Q2, and Q3, Q4 are connected together as the differential amplifier. Then the output signal of lead C of Q1 and Q3, Next, sent to Q5, Q6, and Q7, Q8, amplifier set. The bias of Q5, Q6, and Q7, Q8 will be set in class A. To protect a crossover distortion. The C3 capacitor to cut high-frequency interference.

The output of the circuit is in lead C of Q8 through C4 and R14. For, C4 in the circuit using 10uF 100V, we may use 6.8uF 250V instead, No effect on sound quality at lead C of Q6.
The sound output is sent through R, and C circuits to adjust the sound through the middle pin of VR3 and VR4 passed through R9 to R17 and R18 lead B of Q4.
Which is negative feedback if VR is raised above, the negative feedback signal which is a lot, to make the bass and treble down. If at the center of the output signal will out of directly.
Without adjusting bass and treble. If VR is adjusted downward if the feedback is less. the bass treble will up.
This is the feedback tone control circuit that someone may need more treble was achieved by reducing the R16 from 1K to 100 ohms.
The power supply are positive and negative, by use both 18V DC regulators ICs as LM7818 and LM7918 to apply voltage at +18V and -18V

It is Amazing. Your projects make me happy.
The pre amp is made with a different pcb made by me. It produces a constant hum even at volume control minimum. This hum is constant at all volume control position. The pcb is redisned and made by including a 4.7k and 220 mfd decoupling capacitor in both +ve and –ve power supply. This is included only for Q1, Q2, Q3 and for Q4. The hum remains same. when I removed the input to Q5 and Q6 ( by cutting the track to the base) the hum goes off. The amplifier is silent. That means the hum is produced in input stage or in the feed back stage. Anybody experienced the same hum. Any remedy.
Hello.Figure 1 the schematic circuit diagram the input resistor in the circuit is 1k, and on Figure 3 The components layouts 4.7k, is this an error?

Thank you for visiting our website.
I’m glad you were able to successfully.
experiment with these circuits. 🙂
Hi Sir can you please tell me how you calculate the value of resistor ? I’m looking forward to understand more about the circuit
Hi,
It is very interesting. My dad and I are learning to design this circuit, or to learn how to calculate various devices. My dad said that it was usually a very complicated theory. Which, of course, is difficult for my brain to learn. But my dad tried to make it easy for me. We have now tested the methods we have calculated and have developed a circuit that works to our satisfaction. In the future we will share this experience we have learned with you. Hopefully it will be useful for you and you will continue to follow us. 🙂
