Active Filter for 1200 Hz

Hi,

I haven't posted here for ages, i had to re-join as my e-mail address and computer have changed.

I need to come up with an active filter to pass a 1200 Hz signal. I have no idea how to select the capacitor and resistors for this frequency.

I would really appreciate if someone could give me some direction.

Thanks in advance

Roy,

Just buy a tunable one like MFJ-752D Signal Enhancer II, at least for audio signals, not Ac power lines.
 
Sorry, I should have provided some more information the MFJ-752D would be way overkill. I am trying to detect a 1200 Hz signal from a light beam.

The signal I am trying to detect is a light beam modulated at 1200 Hz. Unfortunately, the detector is also subjected to natural sunlight which has the effect of swamping the signal. It needs to be a simple one or two stage filter entering on 1200.

I was thinking of an active filter based on a thru hole Op amp.

Thanks
Roy
