Cmoy with low 9v battery
I have a Cmoy per Tanget's specs, but using one 9v battery.
When a battery gets low, what types of things can occur?
Do you hear lower volumes even when the pot is turned up?
Do hear sound degradation?
Do you lose signal on either sides of the channel?
What is considered low on a 9v battery when in a Cmoy?

Mostly sound degradation, it might not be entirely obvious at first, but it gets worse as the battery gets lower. The low point depends which op amp is used.

First you get some clipping, then the sound cuts out altogether.
Volume shouldn't be affected.

Varies by op-amp. Some can get really close to V+/V- and work on really low voltages, others need a lot of overhead.

I seen this term before... what is clipping?
It is obvious to me it is the battery, as either I get sound degradation (like static) or it seems cut in/out. Put in newer battery, works fine. Put back the old one, same results.
I ran into this before, just was curious of some the results of using a low battery.

Clipping occurs when you reach the edge of an amplifier's ability to maintain that level of gain (that's not entirely accurate or precise, but that's the idea). Sound waves will be "clipped" at the top and bottom, so instead of a nice round curvy hill, you get a plateau on the top/bottom of each wave.

Ah, clipping must be the distortion that I'm hearing. I was calling it sound degradation or a static like sound.
Thanks!
