How to calculate RIAA correctly?

[Onvinyl]

Hi,
has anybody an article, link or software where the calculating of parts values for the riaa filter is explained deeply for various concepts? That explanation should include the relevant surroundings like impedance of following stages etc.
I would really like to understand such things correctly, in existing designs as well as for trying own ideas.
greets & thanks,
Rudiger

I have two Excel files, one for inverting RIAA amp and one for a non-inverting.

Anybody who wants these send me an email,

Do not post me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, etc here

Output is like this:

Hi,
is the lipshitz article available online anywhere? Google did not find it.

Not that I know of. If you do not want to order it from the AES, you will have to find a library that holds back issues of the AES journal.

It's not very expensive to order from AES, a couple of dollars. I have ordered a couple of old articles and it has been a painless process and the pdf files have been nice scanned.

The Lipshitz article deals with pole-zero interaction due to the effects of finite open-loop gain in a feedback arrangement.

If you want it to be accurate, passive EQ is the best choice. I have been able to construct EQs that were accurate to +/- 0.02 dB that way.

In any case, there is a hump between 200 and 500 Hz that is hard to remove. Doing so yields an accurate sound that few seem to like.

If you do go passive, somewhere I have a program that plots the output error. If you supply me with the values that you have, I could calculate it for you.

The Lipschitz article includes at least two passive networks.

ray.

My non-inverting Excel file takes this into account but it's tricky to really compensate for it.

As Jockpo says, it's easier to have separate filters for each time constant.

An example of this can be found in an application note somewhere at Analog Devices.

If you go to the Beige Bag software site you will find several pages of info given by John Broskie about building active and passive RIAA circuits and how to simulate them. You could even download a trial version of Beige Bag's Spice software for free and try out the circuits and any modifications that you may want to try out. The circuit files shown can be opened with their software. It's great , easy to use. Try it out.
Cheers.
