I designed a 6 band audio equalizer using Sallen-Key active filters and an audio amplifier. The filters were designed using the UA741 and the amplifier was designed using the LM386. I used Eagle Cad to design the PCB and JLC to manufacture.
The LM386 is designed for audio amplification and it doesn't need a dual power supply while the UA741 is not a good amplifier for audio without an external current source.
