Figure 4. VCM with JFET Opamp. Single Ended Volume Control Application.
Capacitors C3 and C5 block DC input signals. Resistors R2 and R4 isolate the opamps' outputs from
capacitive load and improve stability. Optional DC blocking networks C2R3 and C4R5 prevent a DC bios
voltage of up to 10mV from opamps' outputs from reaching the downstream audio circuits. If this
voltage is not a problem for the downstream circuitry, the optional networks can be omitted. The value
of C2 and C4 capacitors may be greatly reduced, (and quality film capacitors may be used), if the input
impedance of the downstream circuitry is high. E.g. for input impedance of 47kOhm, 1uF 63V
polypropylene capacitors would provide a low frequency -3dB point of about 3.4Hz.
A muting relay RL1 controlled by a switch R8R7Q1 provides quiet startup and turn-off of the circuit. The
MUTE control signal received from the control board is output at pin 8 of the VCM board.
Figure 5 presents a balanced version of the Volume control that features two VCM boards with JFET
opamps installed.
