Murx-PreAMP 2002

Beschreibung

My HiFi system has only two line-ins but I need at least four (TV, DVD, PC, notebook) and the PC and the notebook have a low output level. There was only one solution: a mixer/preamp! The TV gets its own line-in (ego) while the other devices are connected via a mixer (which adds the three inputs through two 741 OPs), the default amplification is v=1.00 but it can be altered for each of the inputs.
Of course the OPs need a positive and negative voltage. It wouldn't be difficult to equip a small transformer featuring two secondary windings with a rectifier and voltage regulators, but why if the HiFi system itself provides these voltages?
And there you are, I had barely opened the cover I arleady saw a few nice regulators: 7807 and 7907, which means +7V and -7V.. Perfect!

preamp02.jpg9-pin SUB-D connectors rule if you don't have any other suitable connectors
preamp03.jpgConnected on the inside (there are a lot of circuits in there :)
preamp04.jpgPotentiometers to choose the selective amplification.

preamp07.jpgChinch jacks for the signals and a SUB-D connector for the voltage supply.
preamp08.jpgThe two power LEDs were added at the last moment.
preamp09.jpgWay too hitech/ghetto to understand :)
preamp10.jpgThe cable of an old serial mouse was used for the voltage supply.
