Parts List

• LM386
• 37 Ohm Resistor
• 220uF/25V Electrolytic Capacitor
• 0.1uF Ceramic Capacitor
• 10k Trimmer or Potentiometer or Logarithmic Potentiometer

Theory

    In this project, the main component is LM386 which is a low voltage power amplifier that can operate with a wide supply voltage range between 4 to 12 volts and LM386 can also have a voltage gain of about 200.

The RV1 (Trimmer or Potentiometer or Logarithmic Potentiometer) can be used to control the volume.

Circuit Diagram

    The voltage gain of the below circuit diagram is about 20 

Alternate Circuit Diagram - The voltage gain of the below circuit diagram is about 200
