Professional condenser microphones require a 48-V supply to charge the internal capacitive transducer and power the internal buffer for the high-impedance transducer output. You can use a simple boost ...
Almost all commercially available microphone amplifiers draw their power from a 48V phantom power supply. If this is unavailable or unsuitable, the solution is to build a self-powered amplifier.
We published a design for a stereo microphone preamplifier with balanced inputs and a phantom power supply. The heart of this circuit was a special Analog Devices IC, the SSM2017. Unfortunately, this ...
