A distinctive feature of the device is a low level of intrinsic noise and non-linear distortion, as well as a small frequency response unevenness when the band-pass controls are set to the same position and its “smoothness” when the controls are set to different positions (the frequency response does not have a “waviness” inherent in the frequency response of most similar devices).

Five-band active tone control

The main parameters:

  • Nominal frequency range, Hz, with a decrease in the frequency response at the edges - 3 dB and an input voltage of 1V (sliders of all regulators in the middle position) ...... 8 ... 30
  • Input voltage, V: nominal ....... 1
  • maximum) ...... 2,9
  • Harmonic coefficient,%, at an input voltage of 1 V (regulator sliders in the middle position) at frequencies of 100, 1000, 10 Hz) ...... 000
  • Tone control limits at frequencies 50, 200, 800, 3200 and 12 800 Hz)......±12
  • Relative noise level (at an input voltage of 1 V), dB ....... - 80

The device consists of an input emitter follower on the transistor V1, five active bandpass filters. Z1-Z5 (the diagram shows one of them - Z1) and a two-stage amplifier on transistors V2, V3.

The timbre is regulated by variable resistors 1R2-5R2. Fixed resistors 1R1-5R1, 1R3-5R3 connected in series with them limit the regulation limits to -12 dB. By reducing their resistances, the regulation limits can be extended up to ±25 dB.

Active filter amplifiers (1V1 - 5V1, 1V2 - 5V2) are identical in circuit and differ from one another only in the values ​​of the capacitors 1C1 - 5C1, 1C2 - 5C2 of the frequency-setting circuits. OOS voltages are removed from part of the emitter load of transistors 1V2 - 5V2 and fed into the base circuits of transistors 1V1-5V1. The intervals between active filter tuning frequencies are chosen equal to two octaves. The filter transfer coefficient at tuning frequencies is 6, the quality factor is 1.

The signals from the outputs of active filters are fed to the input of a two-stage amplifier through resistors 1R9-5R9, the resistances of which also determine the mode of operation of transistors V2, V3 in direct current. Correction circuit R6C5 increases the stability of the amplifier at high frequencies. To power the stereo version of the device, a stabilized source is required that provides a voltage of 40 V at a current of 50 ... 15 mA.

The regulator can use any high-frequency silicon transistors of the appropriate structure with a permissible voltage between the emitter and collector of at least 15 V and a static current transfer coefficient h21e of at least 200 (1V1 - 5V1) and 70 (the rest). The permissible deviation from the capacitance values ​​\u1b\u1bof the capacitors 5C1 - 1C2, 5C2 - 4C5 and the resistances of the resistors lR4 - 1R5, 5R5 - 10R1 indicated on the diagram should not exceed ± 2%. Variable resistors 5R2 - XNUMXRXNUMX must be group A.

The number of control bands can be increased by reducing the intervals between filter tuning frequencies to one or one third of an octave. The values ​​of the quality factor and the parameters of the resistors of the frequency-setting circuits for these cases are given in the table.

Interval 
between frequencies
regulation, 
octave
Quality factor Resistor resistance, kOhm
1R4-NR4 1R5-NR5 1R7-NR7
1 1,7 3,9 47 6,8
1/3 4,5 1,5 120 0,68

Permissible deviation of the parameters of the elements of the frequency-setting circuits of the octave (ten-band) regulator is ± 10%, the one-third octave ± 5%. The regulator does not require adjustment.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

Neutrino against caries 02.10.2015

American scientists from the Indiana University in Bloomington and the University of Southern Utah have found that the trillions of neutrinos that permeate the human body every second without harm to health are involved in the formation of most of the fluorine in the universe.

Fluorine occupies a place in the periodic table between oxygen and neon, but it is relatively rare in the Universe. To find out its origin, astronomers examined 79 stars using the 2,1-meter telescope of the Kitt Peak National Observatory in the Arizona desert (USA).

Scientists have been trying to find hydrogen fluoride that can absorb infrared radiation and leave a mark on the star's radiation spectrum. As a result, fluorine was found on 51 stars, and its source, based on the concentration, can only be neutrinos that create this element during supernova explosions.

During this process, a fair amount of neutrinos are released - about 10 to the 58th power. Some particles manage to knock out a proton or neutron from some of the nuclei of neon atoms in stars, resulting in the formation of fluorine.

It turns out that neutrinos have made a great contribution to the fight against caries, because it is fluorine that is the main element of toothpastes. However, some people do not agree with the conclusions of astronomers: scientists from the Lund Observatory (Sweden) have previously discovered a much lower concentration of fluorine in the stars.

Swedish astronomers believe that fluorine is formed not at all because of neutrinos, but as a result of nuclear reactions of red giants that burn hydrogen and helium. The truth can be established by correctly determining the temperature of the studied stars.

Hydrogen fluoride decays at high temperatures, so the spectra of warm stars show less fluorine than the spectra of cold ones. Scientists observing the discussion from the outside note that it is the neutrinos of supernovae that provide the Earth with the presence of up to 2/3 of the amount of fluorine and, therefore, provide people with protection from caries.
