This is 4-way stereo unbalanced distribution amplifier (DA), which can be used to distribute (or split) input audio signal to 4 isolated audio devices.
Distribution amplifier in this article is based on commonly available TL072 and TL074 low noise operational amplifier ICs and 7812/7912 voltage regulator ICs. To drive this system, 12V-0-12V or 15V-0-15V 1000mA center tapped step-down transformer is required. Also note that the operational amplifiers used this circuit can be replaced with identical high-quality versions like OPA4134, OPA2134, etc. In our prototype, we use the TL07x series because of its availability and lower price.
PCB design of stereo DA project
To avoid any interference it is highly advisable to construct this circuit on PCB and also use double core screened wires for all external audio connections.
