TDA1524 Stereo Tone Control

Here is a stereo preamplifier circuit with built in tone control facility. A very useful circuit using versatile tone control IC TDA 1524 from Phillips.

diagram TDA1524 Stereo Tone Control

This circuit is designed as per the data sheet as an effective stereo-tone & volume control for car stereos , TV sets or any sort of stereo amplifier circuit you want.The circuit includes provisions like bass control, treble control , volume control with inbuilt contour or linear mode option (can be switched in betwwen) and balance. All these functions provided can be controlled by DC voltages or by linear potentiometers.

Note:

• R1 ,R2 ,R3 andR4 can be used for controlling volume, balance, treble and bass respectively.
• If SPDT switch S1 is in position 1 ,the circuit works in contour mode and in position 2 the circuit works in linear mode.
• If you are using a 15-20V supply, you can use that as your pre-amp supply as well. Make sure you test the voltage first in all cases
