I only want bass - mr_gees100_peas - Aug 28 16:46:02 2006


Hi,

I'm doing a project (hobby) which tries to detect the bass sound
from a music cd. Prety much what I want is to get a high signal
everytime the bass souns. Kind of showing the beat of themusic. Of
course I would like the logic high signal to stay on for the duration
of the Bass sound. What I have done so far is to connect an microphone
to an OPamp. This parts works fine. I can play a CD on the radio and I
see the signal on the oscilloscope. What I'l stuck at is filtering out
everything but the bass. I tried a low pass RC filter with a cut off
frequency from zero to 120Hz. This is attached at the output of the
OPamp. The results are not convincing. Any sugestions?

why attach it to the OUTPUT of the opamp? I would attach it to the
input, then use feedback to attenuate the bass signal, and use the
opamp output to drive some logic level. Adjust the feedback on the
opamp for sensitivity.

Thanks for all the replies. It seems that the consensus here is to use
the opamp as the filter. I'll give that a try this weekend. Thanks for
the help.
