3 Low noise microphone preamplifier circuit using NE5532 LF356

Here is two Low noise microphone preamplifier circuit. Which is simple circuit but high quality sound,includes devices that are selected very well.

This circuit can be used to all normal microphone, for example: the dynamic microphone of Europe zone that has impedance of about 200 ohms, the Japan microphone has impedance of about 500-600 ohms or others higher impedance microphone.

This circuit have 2 model are a balance Input Pre Microphone Amplifier circuit as Figure 1 and an Unbalance Input pre Microphone Amplifiers to can choose as you needed.

Figure 1 Balance Input Pre Microphone Amplifier circuit

How it works
Balance Input Pre Microphone Amplifier as Figure 1. The input signal will be sent to pin 3 and pin 5 of ICs, to increase signal. And send to pin 9-10 of IC3 that act as the differential amplifier. Thus, noise signal and various hum will be rid go away.

The output from IC3 will be increased again with IC4 to get the output signal as need.

The second section, the unbalance input as Figure 2 will see that the simple circuits by have two low noise ICs to connected together as the amplifiers circuit from microphone to high amplitude as need.

Active microphone preamplifier using LF356

This is an active microphone preamplifier circuit for the particular condenser microphone. Generally, the condenser microphone has high sensitivity and the high output signal more than the other types of microphone, but this type needs to have a power supply.

How it works

Figure 1 is a circuit diagram of this project. The condenser microphone M1 need to has a power supply from the current flow through R1 to it that has 2 lead. Its signal will be coupling through C1, R3 to the IC1’s pin 2.

Figure 1 the circuit diagram of this project.

The gain of a circuit will be is determined by R5/R3, this gain is 10 times. The capacitor C2 will offset circuit working to lower the gain when high frequency.

The output at the IC1’s pin 6 will be sent to C4, R6 to other section as we need.

This R2, R4, and C3 are connected together for bias to IC1. So, we can easily use a generally single DC power supply(positive and negative polarity).

NE5532 MIC Preamplifier 2 channel

This is a Pre Mic circuit or Microphone preamplifier circuit model 2 CH. By this circuit uses integrated number circuit NE5532 or LF353. It perform enlarge sound signal from Dynamic Micro phone give the power goes up for subsequently submit to go to still stereo power amplifier circuit next. This circuit be of good quality good sound, because of use the integrated circuit decreases the noise, but should use the fire feeds +12V GND -12V with. The VR1 and VR2 perform fine decorate the sound.

The detail is other and PCB sees in a picture below.
