Drawing preview
The scenario

Design a portable binaural microphone preamp with low noise and single-supply operation.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use OPA1656 dual FET-input op amp for low noise and low bias current

02

Bias electret capsules via 2.2 kΩ pull-ups to VCC

03

Set mid-rail bias with 100 kΩ divider and 10 µF filter

04

Gain 11 per channel with 10 kΩ/1 kΩ resistors

Portable battery-powered binaural recording, stereo microphone preamp, low-noise audio input stage.
