Hello w2aewm,
I used the capacitor because it was suggested in the LM386 datasheet.
http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm386.pdfThey are using a 47nF capacitor.
Now that you mention it, I did not take into account the 'sinking' part, and the capacitor
will indeed place an additional load on the output. Why are they using it, then?
Maybe I'm missing something on what you're trying to accomplish...
I am trying to create a flat frequency response and apart from the opamp bandwidth, I am trying
to find out what other components might act as low pass filters in my circuit. I liked the idea of
having small wireless light radios in the house by modulating the audio signal to the room LED
lighting. I will make very small versions of the L2S that will read the modulated light and reproduce
the music.
I have already done that, but it seems that the circuit acts like the following equivalent equalizer
on the signal :
Sample music transferred : http://chirb.it/dnPd4CIf I solve this problem, the transferred audio would be of a very respectable quality.
I guess one thing is the opamp I used which has a low bandwidth but I am trying to find
other possible causes as well.
Mark, thank you for your suggestions.
