The End-All, Be-All,

of Voice Modulation
An in-depth look into audio
manipulation

Problem
How can we recreate the sense of nostalgia
that we feel when we think of the voice changer
toys we had as children? How can we resurrect
the joy of childhood? How can we receive a
passing grade in PHYS 3330?

Electret Condenser Microphone

Non-inverting Op Amp
Stage 1

Stage 2

Theory
G = 1 + (Rf / R)
Stage 1

Stage 2

G1 = 1 + (10k pot / 1k)


G1 = 11 - 1

G2 = 1 + (1k / 1k)
G2 = 2

Total Gain = G1G2 = 22 - 2

Model

G = Vout / Vin
G = 11.3V / 0.561 V = 21.899

G = Vout / Vin
G = 1.12V / 0.504 V = 2.222

Well within 5% of theory!

Well within 15% of theory!

Theory vs. Experiment


T1=RBCln(2)
T2=(RA+RB)Cln(2)
T=T1+T2
f=1/T
Duty Cycle = T2/(T1+T2)

49.9 k resistor for RB

Theory:
T1=(49.9 k)(2.2 F)ln(2)=0.076 s
T2=(47 k+49.9 k)Cln(2)=0.148 s
T=T1+T2=0.223 s
f=1/T=4.46 Hz
Duty Cycle = T2/(T1+T2) = 66.1%
Measured:
T1=0.080 s
T2=(47 k+49.9 k)Cln(2)=0.156 s
T=0.236 s
f=1/T=4.24 Hz
Duty Cycle = T2/(T1+T2) = 66.1%
Well within 5% of theory!

100 k resistor for RB

Theory:
T1=(100 k)(2.2 F)ln(2)=0.152 s
T2=(47 k+100 k)Cln(2)=0.224 s
T=T1+T2=0.376 s

Duty Cycle = T2/(T1+T2) = 60.0%
Within 10% of theory!

Wire for RB (effectively zero ohms)


Theory:
T1=(0 )(2.2 F)ln(2)=0 s
Duty Cycle=T2/(T1+T2)=T2/T2=100%
