    By the way, if you want to power the bluetooth receiver from the same power source, using a ground loop isolator (1:1 transformer) between its output and the amp's input does the trick.

    I was trying to play my iPhone late the other night.
    Mrs was in bed. So I put some wood brothers on while I read a book.
    But it seemed really really distant.
    So I turned it up.
    It still sounded distant and echoey.
    I shook my phone.
    Stopped it. Started it.
    So I tried a little bit of Iron Maiden.
    Same deal.
    It really stumped me for a minute.
    Then it went really loud and quite again.
    That's when I suddenly realised I'd left my phone connected to the bluetooth speaker … next to the bed! 😱
    That's why my wife is now storming down the hall, like Darth bleedin Vader, to very angrily ask me if I knew what the f@*king time is.
    True story.
    Anyway.
    I'm gonna make one of them.

    What I really like about your videos is that you show us the experimentation you went through and for me there is more to learn from that than just a step by step, start to finish solution! Would have been nice if you could have got the receiver and the amp on the same supply as a solution to that may have solved (or at least helped to solve) one that I have.

    • @greatscottlab
      @greatscottlab  9 років тому +6

      Fabrizio Lungo You can get rid of the distortions by adding a 1:1 transformer between the audio signal and the audio input of the amp.

    • @fablungo
      @fablungo 9 років тому

      GreatScott! Ahhh.... That's what I am currently doing. I was hoping there would be a solution on the power supply side of things but you can't really have a 1:1 transformer for the DC voltage. Using two transformers from the AC side is what you have done here to get the isolation. Maybe a 20:1 transformer (for 240V down to 12V) connected to a 1:1 transformer before any sort of bridge rectifier might work?

    Listen up +GreatScott! , fellow german here.
    I hate to be the smart ass all the taime but when it comes to security, well here goes my rant.
    That power supply is not rated for moist enviroments. There are enough cheap ass IP67 rated supply modules out there.
    Why am i so concerned? Well you are instructing people on how to handle AC power. But that job is not done with just turnig all off and then back on again.
    Not all countries have regulations concerning protective circuit breaker like an RCD/FI.
    And to the rest out there: There is no need to be afraid of electricity. But security goes first ...or not if you like the smell of BBQ in your bathroom ;-)
    Anyways, i enjoy your videos and subscribed.
    If you need information about electrical safety, feel free to contact me.

    • @greatscottlab
      @greatscottlab  9 років тому +3

      DasIllu Why is my ceiling a moist area? If that would be true, I would have more problems than a lack in security.

    • @DasIllu
      @DasIllu 9 років тому

      GreatScott! Warm Air usually rises up. And warm air has a lot more capacity to transport moisture. (ref. relative humidity vs. absolute humidity). So when you for example take a shower, you have a very moist air seeking it's way through any hole. Ones arrived in that space between concrete and ceiling it'll propably condense at the first thing that is colder than it's surroundings.
      Guess what... Slow temperature changing metals in your power supply. Once enough water accumulated, it will start to flow according to surface tension etc and maybe short out or change resistance of some components needed to regulate the whole thing.
      While there is a bunch of other reasons why you shouldn't do it this way (i.e. VDE) this is one of the major problems.
      This might work without any problems for you. But what about a family of 4-5 people all showering in the morning when the roof above is still cold?
      See, just because it works for you doesn't mean it is safe for all the people you adress in your videos.
      Felt the need to point that out. Those 'stupid' rules are there for saving lifes. For unexpected circumstances too often cost lifes.

    • @DasIllu
      @DasIllu 9 років тому

      GreatScott! I used to work as an electrician in explosive enviroments and maybe i am a bit biased.
      But i also learned how simple circuits may go rogue on you once they are exposed to conditions they are not designed for.
      And to just put some more VDE in. If you are to power down a whole room, it is not done with confirming that the lights are out and the hairdryer doesn't work anymore for that you can accomplish by breaking just the neutral wire and still have potentially deadly 230 or 110 Volts.
      Sometimes it isn't even the electric shock that is the most harmful thing. Just getting startled enough to fall off a ladder can harm you as well. I encountered such situations several times even when i was most careful about security

    This is cool but honestly from a main electrical stand point you should of installed a electrical octagon box in the ceiling (a retro one so you can install it with just a hole like you made) because atm it seems like you have your mains attached with a open terminal which could start a fire, would fail an electrical inspection and could potentially hurt someone that is rooting around up there in the future.
    Experience to back this up is i'm a electrician in Canada and electrical code dictates that you need to have a bonded certified electrical box housing anything above 15v. Anything under 15v can be free aired.

    +GreatScott! You inspired me to build my own version of this using a KRC-86b V4.0 Bluetooth module and a TDA2003 10w Amp chip I salvaged from an old CB radio. In this build you mentioned you were getting interference/noise coming from the 7805 IC sharing source current. How can this problem get solved within the circuit?... At first I put my Bluetooth module in some old computer speakers, but they had a transformer inside them. They had terrible noise, so I ditched them in favor of building a circuit myself with a "wall wort" to separate the 120vac/12vdc power supply. My Bluetooth module is running off a 7805 regulator like you had done. I'm not getting as much noise as you appear to have gotten, but I do hear some light, constant, background noise, and I hear digital chatter randomly coming from my phone connection (like a subtle set of chirps and beeps that sound like R2D2 on drugs). How can I eliminate that kind of noise within a single DC current source? Anyone? :)

      And u added a transistor based post amp to ur op amp, I'd there any way it could be made by MOSFETs for more power?
      Also I'm building my own portable speaker, my amplifier ic is a cs 6283cs, when the sound is paused , there is some noise still coming out of the speaker, how do I remove that noise so that when I pause the sound, there is no unnecessary noise?

    You can buy a Tripath amp, the LP-808 for $11 (amazon: B005YHC4LW) , why even bother making this?
    It's a 12V, All you need is a resistor, in parallel with the amp, for the bluetooth (one 12V straight to the amp, the second in parallel to this, with a resistor to lower the voltage to 5V, going to the bluetooth; or, get a dual 12/5V charger amp).

  • @ProDigit80

    Or just get this $20 amp, and connect it straight to a single 12V 3A adaptor; plug your bluetooth directly in it, and play!
    20W is pretty ok for ceiling speakers upto 6in.

  • @stevedonkers9087
    @stevedonkers9087 4 роки тому

    I built the 5534 amp a year ago. It wouldn't work for me. When I rewired for an LM358 (I had some, I just wanted to see if the 5534 was bad) it worked fine. The NE5534 chips were ordered from China, though I've never had an issue before. Fast forward to today. I had to get a part from Mouser to fix my furnace, and in order to be more comfortable with the massive shipping cost I bought some 5534s. This circuit works great. All 10 of the ones from China don't do anything at all. It makes me wonder if they were rebadged with the wrong code.
    To anyone who builds this amp: be careful - Those transistors can get very hot very quickly. I have some really large transistors I'm going to use for whichever amp board design I choose. These BC6xx transistors are rated for 1 amp of current, and at moderate volume I was pulling around 500mA, which caused quite a lot of heat, but shouldn't cause any thermal runaway. There's a UA-cam channel called Simply Put who built a small amplifier and used a bunch of transistors to spread the current load and keep the heat down instead of buying expensive large transistors. I think he used eight or ten 2N3904/3906 transistors and it seemed to work well. I may try this too since I have a couple hundred of them and need to use them up.

    let me clarify some thing....Volts Do not kill you its Amps that WILL kill you it takes only One amp to kill some one depending on its path through the body. theoretically speaking you could have 1 volt and 5 amps. Amp's are the current or amount of power flowing through a wire or cable. Watts / Volts = Amps say you have 50 watts and you have 10 volts you would have 5 amps (50w / 10v = 5a) (5w / 1v = 5a)

    Scott, could you provide a photo on how exactly did you connect that amplifier on a breadboard? For me it only works when I use the basic NE5534 circuit, when I try to introduce two transistors it either doesn't work or I burn one of the transistors. Local electronics store also didn't have BC637 unit, so I'm using BC556B - it has a different emitter/base/collector arrangement, which also adds to the confusion. Help please :/

Which means, we make a thing with arduino that takes our voice to our phone and takes the audio that is produced by phone to a speaker via Bluetooth(hc-05).our phone works as the SERVER. when we ask "what is the whether", the mics should pick up our voice and sent it to our phone, then our phone executes it and sents an audio input which is then transferred to our speakers. and in our phone we can use a personal assistant app called alexa. it automatically takes in our commands when we say "HEY ALEXA" without pressing any button or switches. wait but first let me know is it a dumb idea or a good. it will be great if you make a video in that. Like if you agree.....

    Basically just an AB and D amplifier working together - AB gets the audio signal, and drives it out nearly directly
    D helps out with a lot of the higher-power driving, to reduce the amount of current that AB has to source or sink.

    Hey yeah that bluetooth device and amp power will always create a feedback loop running off of same power it sucks and is annoying. I was trying to go cheap myself and try the same thing but not for a bathroom(portable). Because of that problem I tossed it aside. Anyways I found a good multipurpose board for only $12. Solved all the problems and made it smaller and be able to charge the battery. Even allows me to use the bluetooth functions for phone. So instead of having multi-part system and cheap, you just spend a few more $ but still "cheap" and not worry of the hassle.
