[0023] The preferred embodiments of the application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the application can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, and the protection scope of the application can be more clearly defined.
[0024] Please refer to the drawings, wherein the same component symbols represent the same components, and the principles of the application are exemplified by being implemented in a suitable operating environment. The following description is based on the exemplified specific embodiments of the application, which should not be regarded as limiting other specific embodiments of the application which are not described in detail herein.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , a structure of the tuning circuit provided by the embodiment of the application is shown.
[0026] As Figure 1 shown, the tuning circuit comprises a signal input end 1, a reference voltage source 2, a transistor 3, a frequency modulation RC network 4, and a C-type potentiometer 41.
[0027] The signal input end 1 of the tone circuit is connected with an external audio signal, so that the audio signal output by the device is connected to the signal input end 1 of the tone circuit through an audio line. The signal input end 1 is connected to the base of the transistor 3, which is specifically an N-type transistor, for the purpose of amplifying the input signal. The collector of the transistor 3 is connected to the reference voltage source 2 for outputting to the transistor 3 and providing a voltage of 12V. The frequency modulation RC network 4 is used for frequency modulation of the signal output by the transistor 3, for selection of the signal frequency, for affecting the input signal strength of the transistor 3 by changing the parameters thereof, for changing the base current, and for further affecting the collector current and the amplification factor of the transistor 3, so as to indirectly adjust the gain of the circuit.
[0028] The reference voltage source in the circuit can be a voltage stabilizer or a reference voltage chip. The implementation mode of the reference voltage source is only for example, and other implementation modes for providing a voltage of 12V to the circuit can also be used in actual application, so as to facilitate the use of the tone circuit, which is not limited in the application. The frequency modulation RC network 4 includes a C-type potentiometer 41, which can change the capacitance value in the frequency modulation RC network 4, so as to adjust the gain of the high and low frequency sound signals by this way, and realize the adjustment of the tone of the audio device.
[0029] As can be seen from the above, the working principle of the tone circuit in the application is that the signal enters from the signal input end 1 and is amplified by the transistor 3. The frequency modulation RC network 4 cooperates with the transistor 3 to form a feedback loop.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows another structure of the tone circuit provided by the embodiment of the application.
[0031] As shown in Figure 2 , the reference voltage source includes a power supply, a second electrolytic capacitor EC2, a first resistor R1, and a second resistor R2. The power supply is connected to the first resistor R1. The other end of the first resistor R1 is respectively connected to the second resistor R2 and the second electrolytic capacitor EC2. The other end of the second resistor R2 is respectively connected to the collector of the transistor Q1 and the frequency modulation RC network. The other end of the second electrolytic capacitor EC2 is connected to the ground end.

The second electrolytic capacitor EC2 is used for filtering out ripples in the power supply, providing a stable DC power supply for the amplifier, reducing noise and interference in the audio signal, and improving the quality of the audio output.

The third resistor R3 is a bias resistor used for controlling the base current of the transistor Q1. By adjusting the resistance value of the bias resistor, the amplification factor of the transistor Q1 can reach the value required by the tone control circuit, so as to achieve appropriate amplification of the audio signal and flexible adjustment of the gain of the transistor Q1, ensuring that the output signal can be fully amplified and avoiding overload or distortion of the tone control circuit.
[0035] The frequency modulation RC network comprises a third electrolytic capacitor EC3, a fourth electrolytic capacitor EC4, a low-frequency RC network and a high-frequency RC network. The low-frequency RC network is connected with the third electrolytic capacitor EC3 and the high-frequency RC network, the other end of the low-frequency RC network is connected with the fourth electrolytic capacitor EC4 and the other end of the high-frequency RC network, the other end of the third electrolytic capacitor EC3 is connected with the collector of the transistor Q1, and the other end of the fourth electrolytic capacitor EC4 is connected with the emitter of the transistor Q1.

The other end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the fifth resistor R5 and the other end of the first C-type potentiometer VR1, respectively. The first C-type potentiometer VR1 is a key element for low-frequency adjustment, and its resistance changes logarithmically with the rotation angle. The third electrolytic capacitor EC3 is usually used for preliminary filtering and coupling of the input signal, so that the signal can be stably transmitted to the subsequent circuit, and the collector of the transistor Q1 is connected to the signal output end through the third electrolytic capacitor EC3. The other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the fourth electrolytic capacitor EC4. The fifth resistor R5 functions as current limiting and voltage dividing in the circuit, and together with other elements, it affects the transmission and adjustment of low-frequency signals.
[0037] In addition, the high-frequency RC network includes a fourth capacitor C4, a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7, and a second C-type potentiometer VR2.

The sixth resistor R6 obtains a part of the signal from the input signal for high-frequency adjustment. The second C-type potentiometer VR2 is also a logarithmic potentiometer for high-frequency adjustment. The fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the control end of the second C-type potentiometer VR2. The seventh resistor R7 is connected to the other end of the second C-type potentiometer VR2.

The control end of the above-mentioned potentiometer can be a slide piece. The frequency-adjusting RC network further includes an eighth resistor R8 connected to the first C-type potentiometer VR1 and the other end connected to the other end of the fourth capacitor C4. The eighth resistor R8 functions as isolation and current limiting, and together with the fourth capacitor C4, it affects the overall frequency response of the circuit. The ground end is connected between the eighth resistor R8 and the fourth capacitor C4 to provide a stable reference potential for the circuit, ensuring normal operation of the circuit.
[0038] The above-mentioned frequency-adjusting RC network uses C-type potentiometers, which can more finely adjust the low-frequency and high-frequency parts of the audio signal according to the perceptual characteristics of the human ear to sound. By adjusting the sliding points of the first C-type potentiometer VR1 and the second C-type potentiometer VR2 from bottom to top, the audio is further attenuated by gradually increasing impedance. When the sliding points are adjusted from top to bottom, the audio is boosted, thereby achieving the adjustment of the tone. The high-efficiency tuning circuit of the present application uses basic and common elements, is suitable for tuning applications of various audio devices, and has a relatively low price, easy to obtain, and achieves the effect of reducing product cost.
