JFET Biasing for Schoeps Microphones

This document provides a method for selecting bias resistors for a JFET microphone circuit using an oscilloscope. The method involves adjusting a variable resistor until distortion is seen on positive and negative peaks of a test signal, then measuring the equivalent resistances to use as bias resistors in the actual microphone circuit. The document includes a diagram of the test fixture circuit and instructions for carrying out the procedure.
