Circuit Diagram of Intercom Systems: Components Required For Two Way Intercom

The document describes a two-way intercom circuit. The circuit uses an amplifier, two switches, and two loudspeakers to provide reliable two-way communication. It can be extended by adding more speakers connected via switches. The LM384 integrated circuit acts as an audio power amplifier, providing about 2 watts of power from a 15 volt supply. The circuit diagram and components required for a basic two-speaker intercom are presented.

Intercom or Inter communication circuit is a two directional communication

system. It provides a reliable communication line and is extremely easy to


implement. The circuit is prepared by an amplifier, two switches and two
loudspeakers. We can extend this circuit by adding more number of speakers
with the help of switches. IC LM384 works as a power output amplifier in this
intercom circuit. LM384 provides almost 2 watts of audio power via 15 volts
supply voltage. This intercom circuit diagram is very simple and practical
circuit capable of using intercoms for homes, office intercom.

Components required for two way intercom


1. Power supply (15V)
2. Resistors (1k x 2; 5.6k; 22k; 100 x 2)
3. Preset (10k)
4. Capacitors (0.01F; 0.1F x 2; 0.047F, 220pF)
5. Electrolytic Capacitors (10F:25V; 100F:25V x 3; 47F:25V x 2)
6. Transformer (220/6V step-down)
7. NE5534
8. LM384
9. Speaker/ Microphone (8)
10.2 Way Switch x 2
Working of wired intercom

Here the 8 speaker acts as Microphone as well as Speaker according to


the switch positions.

If switch S1 is in Talk contact, L1 functions as a Microphone. If it is in


Listen position, L1 functions as a Speaker. (Similar case applicable in L2
also.)

Time being lets consider S1 is in Talk position and S2 in Listen position.

Since the majority speakers are available with impedance low, an


impedance converter is required to retain a high-quality audio.

Impedance matching is done by the transformer T1. (This transformer is


an ordinary 220/6V step-down transformer.)

IC NE5534 works as a Pre Amplifier which boosts the Audio signal before
applying to the LM384 amplifier section. The gain of the LM384 op amp
amplifier is set to 11.

The output volume can be adjusted by varying the R4 preset.

In order to use this circuit as intercom, the band width is chosen to 160 Hz
to 10 kHz. Selection of other band width range results a HIFI amplifier.

Place the power supply unit independently from the main circuit to avoid
interference.

By changing the switch positions of S2 in to Talk position and S1 to


Listen position, L2 get connected to the input section and L1 connected
to output section.

Then L2 functions as Microphone and L1 as Speaker. Thus 2 directional


communications is achieved!

Circuit easily used for house intercom or home intercom systems.
