Simple electret "pre-amp"

May 01, 2007 2 Replies

I am using a Logitech/Labtech USB microphone which is doing an okay job but could benefit from some more gain. I don't want to touch their ADC and USB circuit but would prefer adding something in-line. Given that their 2-wire electret micro is powered by 2.5v on the signal line what would be a simple way to say double the signal seen by the circuit downstream ?



Use an opamp configured to provide a gain of 2.

The o-l-d LM1458 dual opamp would work fine and it runs on a single ended supply.

It's doesn't run on 2.5V though does it ?

A TLC271 might be ok.
