All connections double checked. All transistors checked and the all have 0.8V on BE. Except for transistor 2 which has 1V over its BE?
Mic is a brand new miniature electret microphone which runs on 1V-10V with 2Vnom
I don't even pick up the mains hum when I touch the input. I do however get a small amplification of the microphone and when I connect a 3V supply to the circuit I can hear sounds picked up by the mic, but it is very faint.
Should I perhaps try using a LM741 as a preamp for the mic and then send this signal into the Amplified Ear?
BTW, the circuit can be found at
