valery Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 please if you can help me with a simple push button volume control circuit diagram using transistors. i want to apply it to my audio amplifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 A volume control has been a variable resistor for many years.A transistor can mute the sounds but is not a volume control. A transistor can make a sudden change in level (a jerk) when it is in a voltage divider. Many years ago electric guitar people made a volume control with a Jfet transistor as an attenuator but it caused a lot of distortion (that guitar people like).You want a jerk, jerk, jerk attenuator that has steps (jerk, jerk) of attenuation that can be done with a transistor. A variable resistor used as a volume control does not JERK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
