Stereo to Mono Converter Based on FET
High quality portable unit, Suitable for Subwoofer amplifiers
This simple circuit mixes two or more channels into one channel (e.g. stereo into mono). The circuit can mix as many or as few channels as you like and consume very little power. The mixer is shown with two inputs, but you can add as many as you want by just duplicating the "input sections" which are clearly visible on the schematic.
Circuit Diagram:
Stereo to Mono Converter Based on FET
Parts:
P1 = 10K-50K Pot
P2 = 10K-50K Pot
R1 = 100K
R2 = 100K
R3 = 6.8K
C1 = 0.1uF-25V
C2 = 0.1uF-25V
C3 = 0.1uF-25V
Q1 = 2N3819 Junction FET
J1 = Audio input sockets
J2 = Audio input sockets
Notes:
- As many or as few channels as are required can be added to the mixer.
- Do this by just duplicating the input "sections" which are clearly shown on the schematic.
- One version of this mixer I saw had 18 inputs!
- A shielded case is probably needed to reduce hum and help stop oscillations.
- P1 and P2 are dual gang potentiometer for stereo version.
- The circuit can be powered by a single 9 volt battery.

Stereo Preamplifier With Bass Boost
High Quality, simple design, DC 20v to 30v supply
This preamplifier was designed to cope with CD players, tuners, tape recorders etc., providing an ac voltage gain of 4, in order to drive less sensitive power amplifiers. As modern Hi-Fi home equipment is frequently fitted with small loudspeaker cabinets, the bass frequency range is rather sacrificed. This circuit features also a bass-boost, in order to overcome this problem. You can use a variable resistor to set the bass-boost from 0 to a maximum of +16dB @ 30Hz. If a fixed, maximum boost value is needed, the variable resistor can be omitted and substituted by a switch.
Circuit Diagram:
Stereo Preamplifier With Bass Boost Circuit Diagram
Parts:
P1 = 10K
P2 = 100K
R1 = 100K
R2 = 100K
R3 = 15K
R4 = 10K
R5 = 22K
R6 = 15K
R7 = 1K
R8 = 470R
C1 = 2.2uF-25v
C2 = 2.2uF-25v
C3 = 470uF-35v
C4 = 1uF-35V
C5 = 2.2uF-25v
C6 = 47nF-63v
C7 = 22uF-25v
IC1 = TL072, Opamp
SW1 = DPST Switch
Notes:
- Schematic shows left channel only, but R1, R2, R3 and C1, C2, C3 are common to both channels.
- For stereo operation P1, P2 (or SW1), R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 and C4, C5, C6, C7 must be doubled.
- Numbers in parentheses show IC1 right channel pin connections.
- A log type for P2 ensures a more linear regulation of bass-boost.
- Needing a simple boost-in boost-out operation, P2 must be omitted and SW1 added as shown in the diagram.
- For stereo operation SW1 must be a DPST type.
- Please note that, using SW1, the boost is on when the switch is open, and off when the switch is closed.
