Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
I am in the same boat regarding my RME fireface interfaces. however I have read in some forums from multiple sources that in reality the fireface interfaces still work right up to sonoma, even though

Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
I use BAV199 for 'common' amps and 1n4004GP for stuff which might see P48V.? My guess is this is OK up to 10M.? But Jules is the authority here ... as THAT & Wayne are for P48. I wouldn't use

Re: alix dynamic mics as donors?
yes they are expensive for a donor body - but they look much more solid than a BM800. The ease of disassembly and the layout of the interior is exactly what I was hoping someone here might know.

Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
OK, so I accept it is impracticable on a condenser mic - the broader question for me is? - What is the upper limit of input impedance where a diode ESD protection scheme can work effectively with low

Re: alix dynamic mics as donors?
Too expensive for me. Also I bet the interior would require too much rework or a new custom frame to hold a different capsule and circuit board.

Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
BAV199 are suitable for mike preamps like THAT 1512 but are too noisy for condensor mike stuff.? You want something like Ir 0.2pA.? There's nothing spec'd to that level as its very temp.

How would you know when it's done its job? just the noise levels? If I have a build where the protection diodes are not replaceable separately from the fet they are protecting, what specifications of

Thanks Richard this is setting me on the right track, but I have more questions... yes, I think it is degrading my noise levels even at the <5M input impedance of the circuit I linked to. no space for

Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
All P-N junctions become noisy under circumstances, particularly when they're driven in their Zener region. I would say that a diode that has done its job of protecting a low-noise circuit should be

Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
How many months have you had your Traveler Mk3? Can you open it up and tell us what diodes it uses on the mike amps?? They are large and pretty easy to spot.? Should be 4 on each input near the IC.

Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
Dunno about piezo amps @ about 10M but for a LN condensor mike over 1G, the diodes must have VERY low leakage. 1n4148 far too leaky and noisy.? Guru Scott Wurcer liked a smoke alarm FET used as a

thanks. So it works with a 1M input impedance. How high input impedance can you do this before diode leakage starts messing with the fet bias or lowering the input impedance? BTW I have built the
