Active Volume Control for Professional Audio

Description

This TI Verified Design implements a split-supply: high-performance volume control which attenuates a professional line-level audio signal with minimal distortion and noise. An input buffer preserves the behavior of the system independent of the audio input source impedance. A radio frequency (RF) filter on the circuit front end removes noise from outside the audio band: while a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode protects against overvoltage spikes.

Features
  • Input and Output: Professional line-level audio signal (+4 dBu / 1.228 VRMS)Includes RF filter and over voltage protectionTHD+N at 1 kHz: Gain deviation (30% to 100% potentiometer rotation): ±1.5 dBSupply voltage: ±15 VUtilizes OPA1604 High-Performance Audio  Operational Amplifier
