A pre-amplifier circuit can be designed using a Transistor or an Op-Amp IC, both designs have certain advantages and
disadvantages although both practically work fine and improve sound quality. In this article, we will build a transistor-based pre-
amplifier and check out it's working.

The Silicon Epitaxial NPN transistor is made by Toshiba and is commonly available in TO-92 Packaging as shown below. The
important technical specifications of the 2SC1815 NPN Transistor is given below.
We are using 2 transistors for each section of the circuit as a dual-stage amplification configuration, a 560k resistance from VCC
and a 47k resistor from the ground is used to make voltage divider circuit to provide the power/gain to the collector of the first
transistor along with audio signal through 10uF capacitor from the volume potentiometer. In the emitter, there is a 2k variable
resistor connected with a capacitor47uF and 1k resistor for frequency selection and audio clarification, the base of the first transistor
is connected with the collector of the second transistor for future amplification. Finally, the output comes from the emitter of the
second transistor through a 47uF capacitor with 2.7k and 1k resistor from the GND for noise filtration.
The complete working of the Audio pre-amplifier is demonstrated in the video below. I hope you understood the tutorial and learned
something useful if you have any questions, leave them on our forums or use the comment section below.
