This circuit is a circuit diagram of ECM Mic Preamplifier. A microphone amplifier that can be used with either Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM). Preamplifier has a dynamic range very well and can handle anything from a whisper to a scream, but must be careful to ensure that the equipment that aids the amplifier or tape deck is not excessive.

the original series, I used BC650C ultra low voice device. This transistor is now difficult to find but BC549C or BC109C a good substitute. Circuit is to stabilize itself and will set the still point at roughly half the supply voltage to the emitter of Q2. The following is a schematic drawing: In this circuit diagram, 1k resistor limits the current to the mic. This resistor should be increased to 2k2 if the supply voltage above 12 Volts DC is used and not needed if the Mic insert is dynamic. The first stage built around Q1 amplifier is run at very low collector currents. These factors contribute to a very high overall signal to noise ratio and low overall sound output. The Q1 emitter resistor is separated by 100u bring this up to stage. Voice responses measured from the amplifier in the whole load is shown below 10k. Please note that this plot was made by inserting mic signal is replaced by a generator. The second phase, built around Q2 is coupled directly, this minimizes the effect of phase shift (introduced by the capacitive and inductive coupling method) and achieve a flat output response from 20Hz to over 100kHz. Frequency response is measured across the 10k load resistor. Q2 emitter voltage is also eaten back to basics Q1 through resistive coupling. This is also biased againt ensure temperature stabilization effect. Q2 operates in emitter follower mode, voltage gain of this stage is less than unity, however, the...
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.....
