Balanced Microphone Amplifier

We published a design for a stereo microphone preamplifier with balanced inputs and a phantom power supply. The heart of this circuit was a special Analog Devices IC, the SSM2017. Unfortunately, this IC has been discontinued. In its place, the company recommends using the pin-compatible AMP02 from its current product line. However, and again unfortunately, the specifications of this opamp make it considerably less suitable for use as a microphone amplifier. By contrast, Texas Instruments (in their Burr Brown product line) offer an integrated instrumentation amplifier (type 1NA217) that has better specifications for this purpose. Incidentally, this IC is also recommended as a replacement for the SSM2017. It features internal current feedback, which ensures low distortion (THD + noise is 0.004 % at a gain of 100), low input-stage noise (1.3 nV/√Hz) and wide bandwidth (800 kHz at a gain of 100). The supply voltage range is ±4.5 V to ±18 V. The maximum current consumption of the 1NA217 is ±1...

Wireless receiver microphone circuit

Just as in the transmitter circuit, the series of FM Wireless Microphone Receiver Hi Fi also uses an FM audio receiver module. Module used in the circuit FM Wireless Microphone Receiver Hi Fi has a good feture, namely audio FM receiver module has a function that is able to muffle the noise squel. Audio FM receiver module that is used in FM Wireless Microphone Receiver Hi Fi also does not require a lot of supporting components in the RF signal reception. Audio FM receiver module only requires a 5 volt DC voltage source and a potentiometer P2 to set the threshold level of noise that will be muffled. Voltage source to an audio FM receiver module is also to go through the regulator is good, because if the quality of resources kuran it will generate noise. At the output line installed capacitors C3 and C4 as a couple and compensator for output in accordance with the amplifier or mixer (100mV rms). Part Series FM Wireless Microphone Receiver Hi Fi To provide an output signal according to the...

Ultra Digital Microphone Preamplifier Circuit Diagram

This little project came about as a result of a design job for a client. One of the items needed was a mic preamp, and the project didn't warrant a design such as the P66 preamp, since it is intended for basic PA only. Since mic preamps are needed by people for all manner of projects, this little board may be just what's needed for interfacing a balanced microphone with PC sound cards or other gear. Unlike most of my boards, this one is double-sided. I normally avoid double-sided PCBs for projects because rework by those inexperienced in working with them will almost certainly damage the board beyond repair. I consider this not to be an issue with this preamp, because it is so simple. It is extremely difficult to make a mistake because of the simplicity. As you can see, the board uses a PCB mounted XLR connector and pot, so is a complete mic preamp, ready to go. Feel free to ignore the terminals marked SW1 (centred between the two electrolytic supply caps), as they are specific...
