Project
For this project, a circuit is obtained that amplifies weak signals of a
microphone and sound at adequate levels to be applied in a
amplifier.
For the project, preamplifier circuits will be used; these can accept
low-level signals to be introduced into a power amplifier
The circuit has three different inputs.
1-Corresponds to the +12VDC power supply
2-The dynamic microphone
3-Electret microphone
Microphone types require different connections for a good
operation
Outline
In this schematic diagram; the non-electret microphone, for example, one of its terminals is connected to ground.
and the other must be connected to the power supply with a resistor (in this case R1 of 10K); the
dynamic has a terminal where a DC level is maintained through the voltage divider formed by R2 R3, the
another pin is the output.
In the preamplifier, only one of the two microphones works at a time, for this there is a switch that
It will be connected to the amplifier. This connector used is of the Jumper type and this marked as J3; in this the
pin central goes to the positive input of the amplifier through capacitor C1, between pins 1,2 of
operational amplifier (negative output and negative input)
A 1 megaohm rheostat (variable resistor) has been connected to adjust the amplification level to the value
desired. It should be taken into account that each amplifier value is different for each case.

The central component is the operational amplifier LM358, this
amplifies the weak signals provided by the microphone to carry it
at adequate levels for the power amplifier.
To adjust the amplification level to a suitable value, one

The Operational Amplifier
It is an integrated circuit that can fulfill
different functions depending on what
the circuit is connected like this.
Its function is to amplify signals, it is used
for all audio applications, there exists
a wide variety of amplifiers

The basic amplifier module has 5
terminals, 2 for the source of

Assembly and circuit guide
printed.
The preamplifier is assembled on a printed circuit board reference K-158, in it
all components and connections for the source are included
food, microphones and the output. One must be very careful to
place the components correctly. Example: the capacitors and the
integrated circuits must maintain proper polarity.
The assembly of the card
Attention must be paid at the time of welding to avoid
cause shorts between adjacent points, the sites where
the cables are connected, blade terminals must be used to facilitate the
welding, after finishing the welding process clean the
card with a little alcohol and a toothbrush, this is how it cleans the
layers of material that remain after welding.
THE MICROPHONE
It is an electronic component that is part of the group of transducers.
which have the function of inverting some physical variable in a signal
electrical or vice versa. These receive energy in the form of acoustic waves or
sound and convert it into weak current or voltage signals. They have a
diaphragm that is excited by the acoustic wave and a transducer element
(capsule) that transforms the vibrations of the diaphragm into an electrical signal
equivalent to the acoustic signal. In this project, we use a microphone of the type
electret (named after the material of its membrane) and another type
dynamic.
The way they connect
solder the microphones
You should only solder its two wires at the locations marked on the printed circuit.
in the case of the dynamic microphone, the process is quick since they come with their two cables.
Originally. For the electret microphone change, the connection must be made.
complete. For this, we use armored cable. This type of conductor has very
good features and therefore does not affect the weak output signal of the microphone.
In this type of cables, the conductors are placed apart from each other, separated by a
insulating material; you must be careful when separating the wires
of each one to sell them.
The finished circuit
It can be connected to any audio amplifier. The steps include the
microphone type selection via differentiated jumper like J3.
Then, the output of the preamplifier should be connected to the input of the
amplifier and its output to the speaker. Do not forget that the source
Power supply for these circuits is +12VDC.
