This circuit is capable of amplifying the output from a 150-ohm dynamic microphone to line level in a single stage, courtesy of a little thing called an instrumentation amplifier. They`re like op-amps but with settable gain and much better common-mode rejection. They can have very high gain, high precision, low noise, and decent cost per chip; not

particularly fast, but there`s no such thing as a free lunch, and it`s good enough for audio anyway. Analog Devices makes some nice ones, in particular the AD620AN I use in this circuit. The standard workhorse is the AMP02F, but it works better off of higher voltages than you get from a single 9v. They`re designed for circuits with a positive, negative, and ground supply, so a virtual ground is needed, a constant 4. 5 volts when operating off a convenient 9v battery. The sole purpose of the 741 op-amp is to buffer this virtual ground, since the things feeding into it would easily overwhelm a pair of 1K resistors. A side-effect of this virtual ground is that this circuit MUST operate from a iosolated power supply, like a battery - anything else would short the 4. 5v virtual ground directly to REAL ground. If you have an actual +/- power supply handy, use it and forget the virtual ground entirely to avoid the shorting problem. It`ll have less noise with a real +/- supply, too.

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
