Piezo Contact Microphone Preamp
Drawing preview
The scenario

Design a piezo pickup preamp for a contact microphone that requires high impedance and gain.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Using a JFET for high input impedance

02

High-pass filter to reduce low-frequency rumble

03

Source bypass capacitor to increase gain

General preamp for piezo sensors needing high impedance buffering and simple amplification.
