/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2498238
yeah, rest of the circuit should be fine, i just copied it from the diy microphone video
I already had the mic working, but i had strong noise issues (despite good shielding) and the instru amp was getting very hot (it wasn't a short) and then it stopped,working completely, which is why i am replacing it with this custom made instrum. amp i will cobble together from these cheap audio grade op amps https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ne5532.pdf i ordered from local seller
As for the capsule itself, it is a condenser capsule and directly to the capsule i soldered a tranny, and the tranny is being fed voltage so it can amplify the capsule signal. from the tranny i pull the signal via shielded audio cable to the circuit.
The tranny itself, 2N4416, i also bought from chinks so it's possible it is also shitty, but i am not so sure about that, but just in case it is i also oredered J111 tranny from the same reputable source to use as replacement if i run out of options. (Basically hunting down all the parts used in the video was a nightmare, nobody but small chink shops carry them).
And then if after i do all that, + add shielding cage for the whole mic, and if i still get the noise or poor performance, then i will go ahead with the aforementioned suicide, because there is only so much a man can take.
