Mono To Stereo Synthesizer

This circuit attempts to liven up mono sound sources by simulating a stereo signal. It does this by shifting certain frequencies between left and right to fool the ear. It can often produce a passable mock stereo sound to bring some depth to otherwise flat recordings. Of course, there is no way to produce real stereo sound from a purely mono source unless the synthesizer had a way to tell which direction the original sound came from, but an illusion is generally enough for all but the hard core audiophile.

Notes :
  1. This circuit was sent in by oRbEq (email address unavailable).
  2. S2 controls power to the circuit. Switching S1 to ground bypasses the circuit and outputs mono sound to both output jacks. Setting S1 to R1 enables the synthesized stereo sound at the outputs.
  3. The circuit draws very little current and can thus be powered by most any well filtered 9V-12V source (including a standard 9V radio battery).
