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 [...]

Low Voltage Preamplifier by BC549

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008


A low voltage preamplifier optimised for 3 Volt operation.
This is a special low voltage version of my audio preamp. T1’s emitter voltage is biased close to half supply voltage (1.5V) to allow for maximum output voltage swing. Both transistors are direct coupled and have closed loop feedback to aid temperature stability.

Voltage Controlled Switch by BC547

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008


This switch circuit operates when a voltage level which is previously adjusted is applied to the input. Circuit is designed for 24V supply but can be used in a range of 18V-36V. Voltage level which triggers the circuit can be adjusted by P1 potentiometer. A stabilized voltage is applied to this potentiometer through zener [...]
