This is a very simple two way intercom  circuit based on a LM390 audio amplifier circuit . the intercom circuit  is a stand-alone electronic communications system intended for limited  or private dialogue.  For this  circuit you can use a 8 ohms speaker,  one for each station and require a 6 volts dc power supply.  Gain  control can be done by capacitively coupling a resistor (or FET) from  pin 6 to ground.
The  LM390 Power Audio Amplifier is optimized for 6V, 7.5V, 9V operation  into low impedance loads. The gain is internally set at 20 to keep the  external part count low, but the addition of an external resistor and  capacitor between pins 2 and 6 wil increase the gain to any value up to  200. The inputs are ground referenced while the output is automatically  biased to one half the supply voltage.
