Title: Plans for small batt powered pre?
Post by: markdc70 on December 07, 2006, 02:55:28 PM
I've seen a few plans and kits for this, but not exactly what I want.  I need plans for a small battery powered, stereo, unbalanced mic preamp that has gain pots and clip leds.  Maybe max of 45 db gain.  Does anybody have any suggestions?  There is a lot of knowledge on this board, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction!

There are many designs its best to start with something like a simple two stage preamp with a small fet in the front end and a opamp like a 5532 or opa2227pa something like that. Let me know if I can help you out in any way.

Come to think of it, I do remember seeing a specific kit for sale on the web. I can't remember where it was, but I will try to find it again. I remeber it had the clipping led, the adjustable gain..etc... It wasn't the "project 66", or something like that.

edit: doesn't have it

That preamp can only really do 20 db then you get into distortion if you try and make it do more.

I didn't think it could do much, considering it looked too simple.
What is it missing?

A fet front end  check this link out. http://www.record-producer.com/i/ina217-large.gif although not a fet front end a very simple preamp with about 30-40 db of gain very few parts.

sorry :-(

Here is a XLR plug ... for normal small plugs of the microphone... Is the there same? Is there a guidance with test specification a battery? (9V)

Church : does the guidance look good? Will then learn to build...

Apparently that one is meant for XLR.  ??? I need 1/8th.
I'm probably going to build the 12v version of this one:

and then move into more complicated things like an opamp.
