How to build Headphone Amplifier

October 3, 2010 - category: Audio amplifier

Circuit Diagram:

Headphone Amplifier-

Parts:

  • P1 = 22K
  • R1 = 560R
  • R2 = 10K
  • R3 = 10K
  • R4 = 12K
  • R5 = 2.2R
  • R6 = 2.2R
  • R7 = 22R-1/2W
  • Q1 = BC337
  • Q2 = BC327
  • Q3 = BC337
  • Q4 = BC327
  • C1 = 1µF-63V
  • C2 = 100µF-25V
  • C3 = 100µF-25V
  • C4 = 100µF-25V
  • C5 = 22pF-63V
  • C6 = 22µF-25V
  • IC1 = NE5532
  • J1 = RCA audio input socket

Notes:

  • Can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape recorders.
  • Tested with several headphone models of different impedance: 32, 100, 245, 300, 600 & 2000 Ohm.
  • Old 8 Ohm impedance headphones can be also driven, but these obsolete devices are not recommended.
  • Schematic shows left channel and power supply (common to both channels).
  • Numbers in parentheses show IC1 right channel pin connections.
  • A correct grounding is very important to eliminate hum and ground loops. Connect to the same point the ground sides of J1, P1, C2, C3 & C4. Then connect separately the input and output grounds to the power supply ground.
