  • A tutorial on passive low pass RC filter circuits, and how they affect the frequency content of signals. An example of an RC filter that could go before a subwoofer's amplifier is given. The sound clips are from Pendulum's Slam in Hold Your Colour. More videos at www.afrotechmods.com

You've helped with numerous of my "just for fun" projects. Thanks! And keep up the epic work.

    On behalf of everyone who sees your videos, a big mega thanks to you, from all of us.
    You put it all together for us, and make the impossible to learn, possible to learn.
    If you had to learn this from some tenured professor in the fake education system we call universities, it would be impossible to learn anywhere near as much.
    Your videos all have great production values, and you have an excellent voice on top of that.
    Your videos inspire all of us to keep learning, and you make it easy.

      I'm not sure i understand what do you want to do, but i presume you want to filter out audio frequencies above 40Hz? I don't really work with audio but from what i understand you need to find out what the electrical parameters of the amplifier input are, as well as the signal source ones, and choose an appropriate resistor, so that your signal will transmit properly. When you know what resistor to put, choose a capacitor with c = 1 / (2*Pi*R*fc). My guess is that a 1k resistor might be enough. Then you'd need about a 4uF capacitor. Filtering is done on the pre-amp side i believe, not after. But like i've said...i'm no expert at this. For a professional solution you'd have to consult a professional.

  • @jacklaw7932
    @jacklaw7932 9 років тому

    What I used for a treble roll off filter was a 0.01 mfd capacitor in series with a 500,000 ohm potentiometer across the transformer out of the headphone jack of my hp XP windows desk bound computer. I got the parts from an industrial electronics store bin.
    I used that as an auxiliary control. That fed an amplifier, which fed a parametric equalizer. It was just a whole lot easier to take my hand and turn the highs up or down, rather than fiddle around and go into the computers dedicated audio equalizer, which was optimally set.
    It works great. When the highs go down, the bass goes up a little. I'm mainly concerned about speech intelligibility in movies that I watch.
    I mounted the little RC circuit in a small plastic box. I like it because IT'S HANDS ON! I don't have to go through the keyboard commands.

    Nice. I had both an original and an unorignal power supply (9V output) for a guitar pedal (distortion pedal), but the unoriginal power supply made this guitar pedal generate a high pitch noise which wasn't there with the original power supply. For fun I used a 120 ohm resistor with a 10 uf capacitor and then connected the pedal to the filtered 9V - lo and behold - all the high frequency noise vanished.
    I'm still sticking to the original power supply, but this sure was an interesting experiment 😃

    The last comment about cascading filters, there's an important concept to understand. A low pass filter's cut-off frequency is defined as the frequency at which the amplitudes is down by 3dB. If you put two of the same frequency filters together, isolated by a buffer to prevent interactions, the output will be down by 6dB at the cut-off frequency. Therefore, if you need a sharper rolloff, but need the cut-off frequency to be the same, it's better to use an active filter. Also, Spice is a good idea if you don't know exactly what you're doing, and even if you do, it's useful to check your work.
