A door phone intercom system provides a two-way conversation that is cost free. It can be very useful in hospitals, hotels and as a free of cost communication to a friend’s house.
Earlier I had already published another two way communication intercom circuit but it had the disadvantage of switching (same speaker is used both as mic and speaker based on the switch positions).
The main component used here in this two way intercom circuit is an 1895 IC. It is a 1 watt audio amplifier. Here we are using two condenser mics and two speakers for communication. Calling tone is generated by using melody generator IC UM66.
This door phone intercom system is commonly used for short range applications but can also be extended for long range with the help of audio repeaters. This can be made wireless by connecting fm transmitters and receivers. May be next time we will try to publish one of wireless type.
Here are some of the advantages of these intercom systems for home:

Here are some of the advantages of these intercom systems for home:
- Low noise communication.
- It is a duplex intercom, so the two persons can talk simultaneously.

Components Required
- Condensor mic X 2
- Resistors(4.7K,330x2,100k,33k)
- Capacitors(.22uF,100uF,220uF,10uF,470pF,470uF)
- Zener diode 3.3V
- UM66 IC
- Push button
- Speaker
- IC 1895
Working
- Two condenser mics are connected in parallel which are biased by a resistor R3.
- C2 and C1 are input and output coupling capacitors respectively. They are used to avoid DC shift.
- First section consists of mics and the tone generator. Output of tone generator IC UM66 is connected in parallel with the condenser mic for amplification.
- Second is the amplifier section which consists of the amplifier IC 1895.
- Output section consists of two 8 ohm speakers connected in parallel that reduces the total impedance to 4 ohms. So there is an impedance matching between the speaker and amplifier IC. Hence there is maximum power transfer (i.e. maximum efficiency).
