CERTIFICATE
This is to certify that the draft report titled “Audio Amplifier System with
Computer Power Supply”, submitted to the Govt. College of Technology for
Women, Faisalabad by Miss Shahida Parveen for the award of DAE in
Computer Information Technology, is a bonfire record of research work carried
out by her under our supervision and guidance.
The candidate has fulfilled all the prescribed requirements,
The draft report which is based on candidate’s own work, has
not submitted elsewhere for a diploma.
In my opinion, the draft report is of standard required for the award of a DAE

ABSTRACT
our day to day life. There are a variety of sound amplification techniques and each
present. In this project of designing an audio amplifier system, first we studied the
need for sound amplification and the basic block diagram of a sound system and its
individual blocks. Microphones: their principle, different types, their working and
equivalent SPICE models are followed. Thereafter, a brief study about the power
amplifiers, their different classes and the PSPICE simulation models of all of them
has been carried out. Class B power amplifier is then experimentally implemented
to drive a speaker.

CHAPTER NO.1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 MOTIVATION
A sound system is the one that makes live or pre-recorded sounds louder and may also
distribute those sounds to a larger or more distant audience. In some situations, a sound
system is also used to enhance the sound of the sources on the stage, not only simply
amplifying the sources unaltered but integrating them together. A sound system may be
very complex, including hundreds of microphones, complex audio mixing and signal
arrays. Also a sound system can be as simple as a small public address system in a
Here, in our project, we make an attempt to build one such PA system for domestic use.
1.2 APPLICATIONS
Important applications include public address systems, theatrical and concert sound
amplifiers, and loudspeakers that makes live or pre-recorded sounds louder and may also
transmit those sounds to a larger or more distant audience. The fundamental concepts
related to the project include transducers, their principle, their application in microphones,

More sophisticated sound systems are being developed nowadays which provide an
amplified, high quality sound with perfect control over volume and frequency.

The power supply is connected to the pre-amplifier and power amplifier blocks.
• Pre-Amplifier – amplifies or increases the strength of the small audio signal (voltage)
• Tone and Volume Controls – adjusts or allows us to set the nature of the audio signal.
The tone control takes care of the balance of high and low
frequencies. The volume control allows to adjust the strength of the signal.

CHAPTER NO. 2
AMPLIFIER
Introduction
1.1 Amplifier
An amplifier is an electronic device that increases the voltage, current, or power of a signal. Amplifiers
are used in wireless communications and broadcasting, and in audio equipment of all kinds. They can
be categorized as either weak-signal amplifiers or power amplifiers.
1.2 What is an Audio Power Amplifier?
An audio power amplifier (or power amp) is an electronic amplifier that amplifies low-power
electronic audio signals such as the signal from radio receiver or electric guitar pickup to a level that
is high enough for driving loudspeakers or headphones. Audio power amplifiers are found in all
manner of sound systems including sound reinforcement, public address and home audio systems and
musical instrument amplifiers like guitar amplifiers. It is the final electronic stage in a typical audio
playback chain before the signal is sent to the loudspeakers.
Gain: Perhaps the most important, the ratio between the magnitudes of input and
output signals.
Efficiency: Another very important characteristic, it is the ratio between the output
power and power consumed.
Output Dynamic Range: Ratio between the largest and smallest useful output levels.

POWER SUPPLY
Introduction
Power Supply
A power supply unit (PSU) converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a computer.
They also provide a signal to the motherboard to indicate when the DC voltages are in spec, so that the computer is able to safely
power up and boot.
Functions
The desktop computer power supply converts the alternating current (AC) from a wall socket of mains electricity to a low-
voltage direct current (DC) to operate the motherboard, processor and peripheral devices. A power supply rail or voltage
rail refers to a single voltage provided by a power supply unit (PSU)
Advantages
Greater efficiency because the switching transistor dissipates little power in the saturated state & the
off state compared to the semiconductor state.
Small size & lighter weight (elimination of low frequency transformers) & low heat generation.
Disadvantages
• Greater complexity
• Generation of high amplitude, high frequency energy that a low pass filter blocks.

CONCLUSION
Our final product is HIGH POWER AUDIO AMPLIFIER.
Finally, it has its own GUI BASED CONTROL APPLICATION which can be operated through
Bluetooth enabled windows based devices.
Control via Android based smart-phones using serial terminal emulator for android (Blue Term) We have
built BLUETOOTH INTERFACE between system & digital control.
