MINI-STEREO

This circuit is built around two chips: the MC1458 dual op amp, configured as a preamplifier, and the LM378 dual 4-watt amplifier. The gain of the preamp is given by R3/R1 for one side and R4/R2 for the other side, which is about 100. That gain can be varied by increasing the ratios. The left and right channel inputs are applied to pin 2 and 6. The left and right outputs of U1 at pins 7 and 2 are coupled through C5/R10 and C3/R6, respectively, to U2 to drive the two 8-W loudspeakers. SPEAKER AMPLIFIER Circuit Diagram
