DIY 4558 IC Subwoofer Bass Circuit

In this project, I will build a 4558 IC-based bass booster circuit for low power audio amplifier. Audio without beats is impossible. To make an audio system with a bass feature ability, I introduced a bass booster circuit that gives a clear bass without any disturbance.

Bass sound is a very low-frequency sound that is generated by a low-pass filter circuit. It can block high frequency and produce low-frequency output. After going to build this circuit first we should know about the Low-Pass filter.

What is a Low Pass Filter?

A low-pass filter (LPF) circuit is a filter that passes signals with a frequency lower than a selected cut-off frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies higher than the cut-off frequency. The exact frequency response of the filter depends on the filter design. The filter is sometimes called a high-cut filter, or treble-cut filter in audio applications. A low-pass filter is the complement of a high-pass filter.

Note: If you want to plan to imply this 4558 ic circuit for bass and treble both, then this is not the right circuit. It only gives bass as its output.
