How to make 5 1 channel amplifier and speaker setup

5.1 channel amplifier consists of 6 amplifiers 1 channel mono, which has certain specifications on each canals. Has 6 channel surround sound amplifier that consists of Front Left ,Center,Front Right ,Rear Left (Left Surround),Rear Right (Right Surround) , and LFE (Subwoofer).For clarity I give a simple illustration of the layout and the circuit for these speakers.

5.1 Speaker Setup

Accoustic Field Generator
Acoustic Field Generator is generating acoustic sound with surround effects are adjustable with a standard Dolby Surround, able to produce surround sound is good enough but not too much need of funds. Technological developments as if not only focused on one area alone but on all fronts. The development of technologies that exist today one of them is in the field of audio. With more advanced audio technology today not only as mere entertainment but has become a hobby, hobby is not cheap of course. Many audio enthusiasts trying to make music sound that sounded to be very hard to make music sound as live, the addition of the amplifier, woofer or special speakers that cost is not cheap.


The sound effects are living seems to now is something that most do not have to exist in every good audio devices. This effect is basically a surround effect that can lead to sound as though coming from different directions and his voice can still be heard clearly. Currently Compo-tape tape that has been a lot of these facilities surround sound but not good enough when heard from a considerable distance because of the effects surroundnya missing. This is because the distance is too far listener and speaker, speaker layout is not quite right, or the effect of unfavorable surround.


Surround effects are nice and can be heard with a good surround system is a system that is in movie theaters and to make it not a bit prangkat needed funds. However, if satisfaction remains the number one then the fund is not a major problem. To find a middle ground between price and quality surround effects it was attempted to make the Acoustic Field Generator that can produce surround sound is good enough but not too much need of funds. Acoustic Field Generator is capable of generating acoustic sound with surround effects are adjustable with a standard Dolby Surround.


Accoustic Field Generator Construction

Basically an Acoustic Field Generator built from op-amp circuit and filters. Op-amps are usually used as a voltage amplifier in the Acoustic Field Generator is more widely used as active filters. The filter in the tool is very instrumental in creating an acoustic sound that is really clear, but in practice, almost all the filters, do not miss the precision of the signal with a specific frequency. An op-amp is good for this application is the op-amp which has a wide bandwidth, rise time, slew rate and fast setting timenya. In addition to op-amp and active filter, theres more important parts of the power supply. This is the part that is instrumental in creating excellence acoustic sound because of the bad power supply which is the only producer of noise, which will enter into a voice signal path so that should clear acoustic sound into an acoustic sound with the addition of reverberation (noise). The power supply used is the twin power supply + / - 18 volts DC. Part Acoustic Field Generators



Before we start doing this project, it helps us know in advance about the function of each speaker.

Front Channel

Channel Front is a forward channel input signal LR. LR signal is passed to an amplifier with gain = 1 so that this signal is passed without change / to filter the input signal LR. Front Left and Front Right, is a public speaker that we encountered in stereo amplifier, consisting of a woofer and tweeter. Woofers generally produce low tone sound with a frequency range ranging from 80Hz - 250Hz, while the tweeter produces a high tone with a frequency range between 15kHz - 20kHz. For projects that we will create, its good we use a good quality woofer, with a size of 10 inches and a type piezoelectric tweeter for each speaker fronts.

Front Channel 5.1 Amplifier

Center Channel

Center, the fullrange speakers, which produce sound with a frequency range between 80Hz - 10Khz. Output from the center speaker is a summation of left and right signal (left + right = center). In a movie or song Dolby Surround format, commonly used center for dialogue / vocal or speech of the actor / artist of a film and to produce a sound that moves ahead of us.

Center Channel 5.1 Amplifier

Rear Channel with Surround System

In this section is the core of this hard perangakat. These sections produce surround effects. To produce the surround effect is required special IC MN3005 / 8 and MN3101. Both these ICs will delay the incoming signal in several phases, so that the signal output from this phase will be left with a signal phase of the signal lain.Pada this section L and R are deducted (LR) and then passed in the buffer, filter LPF, delay line, filter LPF (7KHz) and the last is a splitter between the signals R and L. Circuit which causes the surround effect is 75KHz LPF circuit that produces its output fed to the Right Rear 75KHz LPF amplifier input while it diparalel with the Left Rear amplifier input so as to produce two signals L and R which is basically a LR signal a phase lag with the original signal phase.

Rear Left and Rear Right, also known as surround speakers. This speaker is generally a semi-midrange speaker (usually used on television or Mini Compo), commonly called satellite speakers. In a movie surround speakers are used to generate the audible sound of distant voices or sounds that move from the back of our approach. In a music surround speakers produce sound backing vocals and generally sounds like guitars, violins and trumpets sounded clear here.

Rear Channel 5.1 Amplifier

Subwoofer Channel

Part of this subwoofer is the summation of inputs L and R inputs to a summing amplifier. The output of the summing amplifier is passed to a class 2A LPF which will only pass signals with frequency rendah.Subwoofer, sometimes referred to as LFE (Low Frequency Effect). For these speakers using a subwoofer speaker. Speaker woofer speaker subwoofer is designed specifically to be able to respond to sound with a very low frequency, ranging from 15Hz - 120Hz. For low tone effect can be produced by either (without any harmonic frequency), then the acoustic box / box speakers are also designed specifically with a variety of methods (there are no visible speaker / inside the box, there are that use insulation / labyrinth, etc. ), so that the speaker is capable of compressing the air effectively, so that will feel the effect.

Tips for Choosing a quality Power Amplifier

Here are some tips you need to note:

1. Pick of the power that suits your needs. For personal use such as exercise, etc., is sufficient to choose an amplifier with a power of 15-20 watts. In most small power amplifiers are already available facilities such as Head Phone jack (eg Guitar Amplifier Laser 20) which is very useful especially for young people who have a habit of playing music until midnight. By leveraging these channels to Head Phone, then secured another household or neighbors will not be disturbed our music sound. Sound good hasilnya.Apabila amplifier system we will use to train together in a full band with drums, etc., then you should choose a larger power amplifier that is 70 watts or above. Thus the sound produced from the amplifier and sound system will not be drowned by the sound of pounding and pounding beat Drum.Untuk use on stage, you will need a higher power that is at least 125 watts or more, because this amplifier will be able to once we use as a monitor of musical instruments were playing.

2. Choose the facilities we need. Do not buy amplifiers which have facilities that we do not really need when it is increasing the price we pay. Unless the same price we can get better facilities, there is no harm in our selection.

3. Choose a good quality amplifier. If we need an amplifier to your keyboard, then it is advisable to select an amplifier that does not change the color of the original sound generated by the keyboard musical instrument they will be (flat). There are many amplifiers that produce different sounds from the original sound, if this happens there will be other voices that would reduce the original character of the actual sound produced by the keyboard because of the addition or subtraction of a particular frequency. Usually this happens at a very low frequency (low bass) or very high frequency (high treble). (Try the sound system rental, sound rental service) For amplifiers Electric Guitar and Electric Bass this (flat characteristic) does not apply because it specifically for these two types of instruments are required specificity of character frequency. Basically for Electric Guitar amplifier output is not needed for low frequency and high. For Electric Bass needed a low frequency, but not required a high frequency. We can learn from the rental place and the sound system rental-quality musical instrument.

4. Model and performance amplifier can be considered final. The desired model will depend on individual taste. A good model according to a person, not necessarily a good thing according to those who lainnya.Pada most professional musicians model will be the last option or not too overlooked. They will be more concerned with the quality and facilities of the amplifier. Maybe we can find also in the rental services professional sound and musical instrument rental place bagus.Demikian brief tips on choosing an amplifier, hopefully this can help to determine the right choice before you buy an amplifier and produce sound quality music is also of course .

Tips for Choosing Quality Amplifier

1. Pick of the power to suit your sound system. For personal use such as exercise is sufficient to choose an amplifier with 1-20watt power. In most electronic devices / small power amplifiers are already available facilities such as head phone jack (eg laser20 guitar amplifier) ​​is very useful especially for young people who have a habit of playing music until midnight. By leveraging the channel for these headphones, then secured another household or neighbors will not be disturbed "attraction" we. If the amplifier sound system we will use to train together in a group full band * with drum and band instrument, then you should choose a power amplifier 70watt or above. Thus the sound produced from the amplifier will not be drowned by the sound of pounding and pounding drum beats. For use on stage, you will require more resources than most, namely at least 125watt or more, because this amplifier will be at the same we use as a monitor of musical instruments were playing.

2. Select the facilities we need. Do not buy a multimedia system / amplifier that has the facilities that we do not really need, if it is increasing the price we pay. Unless the same price we can get better facilities, there is no harm in our selection.

3. Choose a good quality amplifier. If we need an amplifier to your keyboard, then it is advisable to select an amplifier that does not change the original color generated by the keyboard (flat). There are many Indonesian musical instrument amplifier that produces a different sound from the original sound, if this happens there will be other voices that would reduce the original character of the actual sound produced by the keyboard because of the addition or subtraction of a certain frequency speaker system. Usually this happens at a very low frequency. (Low bass) or very high frequency (high treble). To Lighting System, Electric Amplifier Electric Bass Guitar and this (flat characteristic) does not apply because it specifically for these two types of instruments required specificity of character frequency. Basically for Electric Guitar not dipelukan amplifier output for low frequencies and high. For Electric Bass needed a low frequency, but not required a high frequency.

4. Models and appearance can be thought being given to the last amplifier. The desired model will depend on individual taste. A good model according to a person not necessarily a good thing by other people.

In most professional musicians, models will be the last option or not too overlooked. They will be more concerned with the quality and features of the amplifiers for musical instruments. But if you are confused, you could just rent equipment or hire sound system rental equipment.

Sensor Fog Lamp Circuit Diagram

For several years now, a rear fog lamp has been mandatory for trailers and caravans in order to improve visibility under foggy conditions. When this fog lamp is switched on, the fog lamp of the pulling vehicle must be switched of to avoid irritating reflections. For this purpose, a mechanical switch is now built into the 13-way female connector in order to switch of the fog lamp of the pulling vehicle and switch on the fog lamp of the trailer or caravan. For anyone who uses a 7-way connector, this switching can also be implemented electronically with the aid of the circuit illustrated here.

Circuit diagram:

Fog Lamp Sensor Circuit Diagram

Here a type P521 optocoupler detects whether the fog lamp of the caravan or trailer is connected. If the fog lamp is switched on in the car, a current flows through the caravan fog lamp via diodes D1 and D2. This causes the LED in the optocoupler to light up, with the result that the photo-transistor conducts and energies the relay via transistor T1. The relay switches of the fog lamp of the car. For anyone who’s not all thumbs, this small circuit can easily be built on a small piece of perforated circuit board and then fitted somewhere close to the rear lamp fitting of the pulling vehicle.

3A adjustable regulated power supply

This is a compact adjustable power supply that delivers a stable voltage and currents up to 3 amperes. The circuit is very conventional and its voltage output can be varied from 1.25 volts to 25 volts.
The main module is the LM350 IC which integrates a voltage regulator and a power stage. It also has a built-in overload protection which activates at 30 watts of power dissipation. The voltage output is set by connecting the “adj” pin of the IC to the voltage divider made of R1 and P1. The output voltage can be calculated using the following formula:
1.25V x (1 + P1/R1)
where the P1 value is between 0 and 2.5 K?. Capacitor C1 is a common ripple filter while capacitors C2 and C3 improves the regulation. The diodes D1 and D2 serves as protection for the regulator IC when the IC output is turned off. Resistor R1 is 120?. This ensures that the minimal load current for the IC (around 3.4mA) is high enough to maintain good performance.
