Thanks for all the responses. I'm not looking to change detection level/time constant, only amplitude.
Although adjustable gain would be ideal, I only need to match the output of this to another identical circuit (for left & right VU meters), so just attenuating the signal by 1/2 to 1db or so...
I'm looking for a simple way (minimum components) to pre-set/adjust the gain of this mixing console VU meter circuit by approx. +/-1db:
Component values:
--------------------
R125, R128 = 470K
R129 = 10 ohms
C103, C105 = 22uf
IC26 = TL071
Thanks!
Thanks Brian...
The electrolytic on the + rail has been replaced. The one on the - rail checks good on my ESR & capacitance meters. The amp actually uses a separate power supply for each channel (dual mono). The reservoir caps in both channels are OK - all have low ESR and clean DC output.
The...
Thanks for responding...
Putting caps on the output has no effect on the problem, and the wires to the PCB are already twisted. The problem is very intermittent - usually worse when first powered on. When it acts up again I will try your suggestion with the ferrite choke.
Another possible clue...
The factory added input level pots to each channel of this stereo amp (a custom mod for the purchaser) when it was built years ago. Now one of the channels is oscillating. The oscillation affects the audio range and will vary somewhat in frequency and amplitude depending on the setting of the...
I used TI's "WEBENCH Filter Designer" online to design a 4 pole low pass filter. The cutoff freq. is 10.5 kHz.
The pass band gain of the circuit is unity, but what I actually need is a gain of -6.5 dB @ 1 kHz. The software won't let me enter negative numbers, so I can't determine what I need...
