Stereo Tone Control with Line In + Microphone Mixer

This is an active stereo tone control circuit using very well known op-amp IC of TL072. The circuit include mic pre-amp and mixer control. In this design, we have two inputs: one for line (stereo), one for microphone and has control of the three audio frequency (high/treble, medium and low/bass). It also provide balance control… Read More »
