* 4066 – a digitally controlled quad analog switch utilizing advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology with features such as individual switch controls, matched switch characteristics, pin and function compatibility, low quiescent current, low ON resistance, wide analog input voltage range, and 15 ns typical switch enable time
Circuit Explanation
The operation of the circuit is built about the function of amplifier IC1A that strengthens the signal of microphone by regulating the gain of the unit depending on the needs. The intensity of the sound is adjusted by the potentiometer RV1, which is fed via pins 9 & 10 to the two switches of IC3. The switches are possessing resistance of 10M ohms when no excitation is present while a resistance drop to 300 ohms occurs during excitation which allows the signal to pass through. When the signal reaches a specified level, due to additional strengthening of IC2B via RV2, it will be rectified by D1 & D2.
An interrupted DC signal is produced by the circuit in the pattern of IN1 signal and this is being used to change the operation of IC2A and IC2B. The stereo signal can pass when IC3A and IC3B are turned ON. When the input of J1 contains audio excitation, the operation of IS2A & IS2B will change that affects the state of IC3, causing the switch A-B to open and C-D to close. The stereo signal is interrupted and allowed to flow from the input of J1. The circuit can be tested by using placing a musical program in the input of J2 & J3, which passes to the outputs of J4 & J5, without distortion or reduction of signal for the two channels. The use of capacitor C5 is to pass the signal of microphone when the signal reaches a certain point. The circuit will vibrate as the speech is done.

Application
Auto fade is intended for voice over stage where one needs to fade the background audio during the presence of several voice sections. This circuit gives advantage to radio station disc jockeys and for announcements made on top of music in malls to call the shopper’s attention, in hospitals, in airports, and other establishment.
