Active subwoofer filter circuit

This active subwoofer filter system provides the frequencies required to run the subwoofer within its limits. The purpose of this unit is to prevent the subwoofer speaker or circuit from overloading at unsupported frequencies. This approach can ensure the safety of the subwoofer speaker or driver circuit. This system consists of TL074 based active lowpass filter, highpass filter, and preamplifier stage. The lowpass filter is in 880Hz cutoff frequency. Highpass filter cutoff frequency can select from the rotary switch. In this given design, the highpass cutting frequencies are at 80Hz, 115Hz, 150Hz, and 180Hz.  Use the calculator application shown here to use this system for frequencies other than those mentioned above.  Finished prototype of an active subwoofer filter circuit. In this circuit, both lowpass filter and high pass filter uses a 3-pole Butterworth filter configuration. Here all the filter component values are calculated using the calculator application mentione...

Contactless DTMF switch

This is contactless DTMF ( Dual Tone - Multi Frequency ) switch to control 16 channel relay boards. This module can turn ON/OFF relays based on DTMF singles which captured from its microphones. This project is building using 4 commonly available ICs which including TL084, TL081, CM8870, and 74LS154. TL084 is used as microphone preamplifier and LPF. TL081 act as combiner and CM8870 is used to decode the DTMF inputs. 74LS154, the demultiplexer is used as line selector. In this circuit TL084 and TL081 and replace with any compatible operational amplifier IC. During our prototyping, we replace TL084 with LM324, TL074, and TL081 with TL071 and got identical results. For the microphones, it is highly recommended to use omnidirectional condenser microphones. In our tests, we get good results when both the microphones are in the 90⁰ plane. This circuit is design to work with single rail 5V DC power source and its output terminal ( SV1 ) is compatible with most of the 16 channel relay bo...
