Hello users,
Since this is my first time using this forum, and since English is not my native language, excuse me for any mistakes when posting/replying.
As my first real electrical engineering project, I was instructed to design and build a amplifier that has a minimal output of 1W by a load of 4 ohms and a load of 8 ohms. The product that I have to deliver must include: 3 band equalizer (low, mid and high) and a volume control; but I run into some issues because I do not have many experience in this field yet.
My question when designing a passive RC filter circuit, is the following:
What range of capacitor values is appropriate for using in a simple passive RC filter circuit? At first I was going to use a capacitor of: 1uF and a resistor of 160ohms for my low-pass filter to achieve a cut-off frequency of around ~1000Hz (I didn't choose this frequency myself, it is what I got instructed by my teacher).
The problem is, that I do not see any circuits online using capacitor values this high and when I search for the reason why to choose a higher resistor value to reduce the value of the capacitor, I don't really see the right answer that helps a electronics noob like me.
Can somebody please explain this to me at a understandable level?
Kinds regards,
Colin
