Microphone pre-amp
This circuit is used to give out a microphone preamp to an amplifier which will power the signal. The NPN transistors used are ECG123A. This circuit is also an older model to the one that now uses IC's, but don't worry this will still work fine. It's output is as clean as a whistle. Remember the output cannot drive a speaker because it is a preamplifier and only an amplifier can give an output for speaker. Any microphone can be used here. If you want, you can put a LED light at the 12Volt input, but don't forget to put a 470k resistor in series.

The circuit under discussion employs a microphone preamp to output to an amplifier, which in turn powers the signal. The NPN transistors incorporated into the design are of the ECG123A type. While this circuit is an older model that predates the use of Integrated Circuits (ICs), it remains fully functional and efficient in its operation.
The output quality of this circuit is commendable, often described as 'clean as a whistle'. However, it is crucial to note that this circuit cannot directly drive a speaker. This limitation is due to its design as a preamplifier, which is primarily meant to prepare the signal for the main amplifier. The main amplifier is the component responsible for providing an output suitable for a speaker.
The design of this circuit allows for the use of any type of microphone, providing flexibility and broad compatibility. Furthermore, there is an option to incorporate a Light Emitting Diode (LED) at the 12-volt input. This LED can serve as an indicator of power supply or signal status. However, it is imperative to connect a 470k Ohm resistor in series with the LED to prevent excessive current flow that could damage the LED.This circuit is used to give out a microphone preamp to a amplifier which will power the signal.
