This preamp is very simple, and will work under tough conditions. The input impedance is pretty high, so it won`t load down electric guitars. It will also amplify microphones. When I have a moment, I`ll make some additions that will optimize it for.... -
The computer needs at least 180 millivolts peak-to-peak and the condenser microphone in my headset produces about 20 millivolts peak-to-peak into a 2.2k load with normal speech levels. There are USB ports on the machines, so I can use that for +5 volts..... -

The Sound Blaster 16 PCI and Sound Blaster 16 ISA do not have a very sensitive microphone input. This little one transistor amplifier is powered directly from the microphone jack on the sound card and has LOTS of gain. Just put a 100uF bypass capacitor in.... -
This circuit will be useful if you have an electret microphone that produces a low audio (sound) level and you want to connect it to an amplifier or something like it. The circuit boosts the microphone output voltage to obtain an acceptable signal level..... -
This circuit is suitable to amplify and distribute the audio signals. The input audio signal is applied to the J1 and after passing through the P1, It is buffered and amplified by the U1 prepared to redistribute. It has 3 output to drive 3 audio lines with.... -
This circuits allows you to use a cheap loudspeaker as a microphone. Sound waves reaching the speaker cone cause fluctuations in the voice coil. The voice coil moving in the speakers magnetic field will produce a small electrical signal. The circuit is.... -
The acoustic filters are met in various points in the sound systems. The knownest application they are the filters baxandal for regulating tone low and high frequencies and filters crossover where the acoustic region is separated in subareas, in order to it.... -
Since the volume control is after the gain stage, the preamp can be easily overloaded. I tried to limit the input signal by mounting a 470 k resistor in series with the CD input. A voltage divider is formed by this resistor and R107, resulting in a greater.... -
Tube amplifiers designed for headphones have the principal property that they can be used as preamplifiers too. In most cases, the output impedance of a tube headphone amplifier is (or should be) less than the output impedance of a tube preamp. This.... -
A professional suggestion for those interested in improving sound. The circuit constitutes the part of input mixing console sound from the microphone or source of high level . It can be used on it's own or be multiplied to the number of channels required..... -
A very good circuit of pre-preamplifier, for amplification of signals from heads of Moving Coil. It uses the two departments of tube ECC88, association parallel, for reduction of produced noise. The circuit enters in line with existing circuit PHONO..... -
This preamplifier was designed to cope with CD players, tuners, tape recorders etc., providing a gain of 4, in order to drive less sensitive power amplifiers. As modern Hi-Fi home equipment is frequently fitted with small loudspeaker cabinets, the bass.... -
This design was born of frustration with the mic preamp in my Sony R91. It clips at ridiculously low levels, basically it has 28mV of headroom to deal with an input that could be as high as 1800mV (depending on mic & volume), so this design attempts to cure.... -
A compact, inexpensive and low component count telecom head- set can be constructed using two readily available transistors and a few other electronic components. This circuit is very useful for hands-free operation of EPABX and pager communication. Since.... -
A cathode follower based on the 6BL7 or 6BX7 is ideal for output. I used a mu-follower circuit with no feedback, a 12SN7 as the gain stage, and a 6BL7 as the cathode follower/current source. (I have many old GEs I wanted to use, and converting to 6SN7 means.... -
One of the more frequently requested projects on HeadWize has been a switchbox for selecting multiple audio inputs. I built this passive preamp/switchbox several years ago to switch between two stereo sources (a portable FM tuner and portable CD player) AND.... -
This is a simple microphone preamplifier circuit which you can use between your microphone and stereo amplifier. This circuit amplifier microphone suitable for use with normal home stereo amplifier line/CD/aux/tape inputs. This microphone preamplifier can.... -
Many amplifiers have phono inputs for connecting record players to the amplifier. Phono input is designed to take a up to few millivolt signal from phono pickup and amplify it. The amplifier stage does also some equalization based on standardized RIAA curve..... -
Soundblaster soundcard series (SB16, SB32, AWE32 and AWE64) have all a microphone input designed to be used with the electret microphones which come with the soundcard package (some packages) or with separate microphone designed to be used with SoundBlaster.... -
The preamp featured is very straightforward to make on the PCB, and has an innovative tone defeat function. Rather than completely disable the tone controls, they are massively de-sensitised, and when "defeated" have a maximum range as shown in Fig. 3.... -
