Here is a simple circuit that have 7 band spectrum analyzer, bass mid treble and volume controls and input selector. This TDA7419 project is intended for bluetooth speaker project.
If you are looking to control your audio with arduino, here’s it is. It uses TDA7419 chip which has a lot of features for controlling your audio. It has 4 input selector, bass control, mid control, treble control, loudness control and a built-in 7 band spectrum analyzer.

This circuit uses an IC from New Japan Radio Inc. It is NJM2761 which is specially designed for limiting audio signals. It is designed for powered speaker system to protect the speaker from overloading.

Here’s a simple circuit you can build for your own low power home audio project. It only uses a NPN transistor rather than the most conventional OPAMP versions. It is simple and easy to build using an universal board. It can be powered by 9v or 12v single power supply.

Here’s a simple circuit you can use to boost more bass from your music. It can be powered by 9V battery or a 12V DC adapter. Take note that this is just basically a 1 band tone control with +- 17dB range at 60Hz bass frequency. You need it to connect before the amplifier input. This can’t be connected directly to speaker. The output of this circuit will be connected to the input of your amplifier and the input of this circuit will be connected to your audio source(i.e. mp3 player).
Here’s a simple electronic stereo audio selector switch that can be used for arduino. You can directly connect the pin 1, 16, 3 and 18 to arduino for selecting the source. This pin can accept as low as 2V for logic high according to its datasheet so no need for level shifter.
If you are looking for a mic preamp with bass and treble control, you may consider this one. I designed it for my future mixer build. I am planning to build one someday when I am not too busy.
ABOUT THE CIRCUIT
The circuit is only on design stage, not yet done any prototype but it is working on my simulation. This is an improved version of the preamp on my audio mixer design I posted.
The rolloff on the 10k-20kHz range is caused by the capacitor C8. This is done to make sure the system will not allow any radio frequency to pass especially AM radio signals. If you want that roll-off to be more aggressive, you can increase it. Treble frequency is set by C3 and C4 while C2 is for setting the bass frequency. Increasing those capacitor values will decrease the frequency. For instance you want the bass to have more boost on the lower end frequency, just increase the value of C2.
Gain is set by R1, if you want more gain, increase R1 value. Potentiometer used are 100k, using 50k or lower will decrease the boost and cut range by around 3dB.
Simulation Results
All range: bass and treble at 0%, 50% and 100%
Bass control (0%-100% at 10% increment)
Treble control (0%-100% at 10% increment)
Here’s an improve tone control with 12dB boost on 80Hz for better super bass experience.
About the Circuit
The circuit is made up of 2 opamps TL072. This can be changed to other general purpose opamps like LM358. First stage opamp gain is set to 1, if you need more gain, you will need to decrease R2. If you want to use it for Mic, use 1k for R2.
Take note that there is no capacitor in series with the output, this is only for simulation, in reality you will need to add capacitor at the output to cancel out the DC offset on the output.
Want more Bass?
This circuit can already deliver +12dB boost at 80Hz but if that is not enough for you, you may want to decrease value of R3 and R4 for higher bass boost. Decreasing it to 3.3k will give you a bass boost of around 17dB at 80Hz! That would be too much and take note that you may need more power for that.
Simulation
Flat response ( bass and treble set to 50%)
there is roll off at both ends but it is only around -1dB which is fine. The roll off on the 20kHz is intended to reduce AM interference. This can be reduced by reducing C7 value. While the roll off at the lower end is needed to reduce subwoofer excessive movement. For music listening, the 20Hz to around 50Hz frequency is not important because almost no instrument is playing on that range of frequency. You can further decrease that roll off at 20Hz by decreasing value of C1.
100% Bass and Treble
0% Bass and 0% Treble Vs Set to both maximum
PCB Design
Please do take note that the simulation part numbering is not the same on the PCB part numbering. In example R1 on the simetrix simulation file is not the same R1 on the PCB file.
For PCB design, I used only single layer PCB so it will be easy to build for anyone. But in order to do this, I needed to add some 0 ohm resistors as jumpers. Just use wires for these 0 ohm resistors, these are R13, R14 and R20 on the schematic.
