Greetings gentlemens
Would love some help in designing a simple circuit that I've been seeing more and more in most audio equipment with any form of audio presence/ clip capability. I'm more of a builder then a designer, so any input is appreciated.
The circuit does as follows. A bi color LED (Green/ Red with shared ground), is used to allow user to monitor line level audio levels on audio device input. Green LED turns on at -30db audio presence. Red clip LED comes on around or just over 0 db.
A simple transistor circuit would benefit. At the moment audio comes through 10k pot and into 5532 opamp for gain and buffering. I have dual color LEDS installed on unit, LEDS share the ground pin.
Thoughts?
