Analog Lab Report 6

2a) 

The capacitor for 100k ohms potentiameter:

1 / (2 * 3.14159 * 100000 ohms * 16 Hz) ≈ 10 ^ -7 F

2c) 

The capacitor for 10k ohms potentiameter:

1 / (2 * 3.14159 * 10000 ohms * 16 Hz) ≈ 10 ^ -6 F

Putting multiple -6 dB filters in series?

5)

1. I want to make a filter that is responsive to the environment. What I’m thinking right now is doing a filter that varies based on the brightness a photocell perceives. It could be used in places like a disco room where lighting changes. 
2. Of course, brightness could be just one of the factors that change the output. I want to have multiple environmental factors that affect the audio output together, but I’m not sure what other factors I can take advantage of. I want to make use of all the effects that we learn in this semester and assign them to each factor. 
3. Distortion? I’m not sure how distortion works. I saw some projects doing distortion in some previous years. I think it would be interesting if I can incorporate distortion into my own project.

Troubleshooting

Putting a switch right after the audio input will accidentally parallel the two resistors. Instead, we should put the switch right before the audio output.
