mini Microphone Preamp by IC 741 Kit

Saturday, June 21st, 2008


This kit was developed as a pre-module for a number of audio applications where there is insufficient input signal. Ideal for use as a microphone pre-amplifier or for level correction. The mian part is IC OP-AMP LM741 or UA741. Output level is adjustable with up to 40 dB of gain. Requires power supply of 10-30 [...]

Dynamic microphone Amplifier for earphones

Friday, April 25th, 2008


I decided to make this circuit so that I could listen to faint noises. It is a simple two-stage transistor amplifier design. The circuit was designed to use the input from a dynamic microphone but I am sure that with some modifications it would be possible to use an electret microphone. The 2N3053 transistors used [...]

ECM Mic Preamplifier by BC549

Saturday, April 19th, 2008


A microphone amplifier that may be used with either Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM) inserts or dynamic inserts, made with discrete components.
Both transistors should be low noise types. In the original circuit, I used BC650C which is an ultra low noise device. These transistors are now hard to find but BC549C or BC109C are a good [...]
