AV8 Audio Board Introduction This board forms part of the AV8 Preamp Processor, it performs analogue input selection and routing of analogue signals to the various outputs. There are four sets of outputs; main, zone2 and two tape loops “Tape” and ”VCR”. Main and zone2 outputs have volume controls (either of which can be the source for the on-board headphone amplifier).

Several ranges, nominally +6dB, 0dB, -6dB and - 12dB can be generated depending on the state of the The 24 off 74HCT4053 analogue multiplexers route the ‘GAIN RANGE’...

LM337Ts. IC801 is a voltage regulator and is set for +15V. IC802 gives -15V and its output is also used to derive -5.1V using a Zener diode. IC803 gives a +5V supply. R806 is used to reduce the voltage drop across IC803 and therefore reduce heat dissipation in the part.
