Hi guys,
I'm just looking for a little help with an amplifier circuit I'm building. I can't seem to amplify an audio signal past a certain point .
I've got a microphone input into the NE5534 and I'm outputting from there into the MC34119.
The understanding is that the microphone signal is a small signal and feeding it into the NExxx will 'pre amp' it before it runs into the MCxxx. The issue I'm having is that if I input the microphone straight into the MCxxx it is outputting a higher signal than both IC's together.
I ran the signal (just to test) out of the MCxxx through a couple of transistors set up in a Darlington pair and got a very slight (0.02a) increase in power.
I would just use the one chip, but I need more power as the whole system is a relay system for quite a large room. When the room is in use we need to be able to hear what is going on whilst we are in the office.
I hope I make sense, I have no idea where I'm going wrong...
I've uploaded the datasheet for both IC's.
Edit: I know the NExxx is working as I ran the Mic signal into it and got an amplified output as I expected.
