find the problem and are able to correct it.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
Referring to the schematic diagram, you will see the basic layout to the
circuit. You will notice that there are many jumpers in the circuit as well.
These jumpers allow the kit to be configured for various applications. For now
we will talk about using the kit as a surround sound processor, which requires
only JMP 5, and JMP 7 to be in place, and all others left out.
In the surround sound configuration, the inputs are set for line level which is
the level that normally comes out of your tape deck and CD outputs of your
Hi-Fi or radio. Left and right inputs are sent directly to the outputs through R1
and R4, this allows the initial sound to be heard at the same instant it begins.
Both left and right inputs are also added together in U1:A, and amplified or
attenuated depending on the setting of R25. The output of U1:A is then fed
directly to the input of U3, the bucket brigade device (BBD). U2 controls the
BBD, and its clock rate is adjusted by R16. When the clock rate is varied, so
is the delay time of the BBD. The delayed output of U3 is then sent to a
lowpass filter consisting of the U1:C and the surrounding parts. This filter
serves the purpose of removing the clock's tone from the output of the BBD.
Presently it is set up to remove the tone from the lowest clock frequency of
around 3 KHz, but can be altered if a shorter delay is required. The output of
the filter is then sent to the left channel, and some of the output is sent back
to the input to send the same sounds through another cycle for the reverb
effect.
