Re: SMD transistors for Alice/Schoeps
My favourite PNPs for the output stage are the Nexperia BCM53DS and BCM857DS. https://www.nexperia.com/product/BCM53DS

Double, factory matched pair. No more

Re: SMD transistors for Alice/Schoeps
You could but I highly recommend the simple P48 if you need to go really small. It works really well.

Re: SMD transistors for Alice/Schoeps
Heh.? Haven't looked that circuit in a while, I guess. 2N5087 is the PNP output stage.
Same thing applies, though - probably a lot of transistors will work just fine, I've done this on other things

Re: SMD transistors for Alice/Schoeps
I was doing PF5102 to replace the on5087, but those are also EOL.
You could just try collecting all the major specs from the PF5102 and plugging those into the search on Mouser or Digi-Key.? I don't

Re: SMD transistors for Alice/Schoeps
Sadly that one is obsolete with through hole ones still available. I¡¯ve switched everything over to the OPA circuit.

SMD transistors for Alice/Schoeps
Hi All,
Happy new year (if it¡¯s not too late to say it!)
Any thoughts on SMD replacements (or improvements!) on the through hole 2N5087?
I¡¯m looking to squeeze eight or more circuits onto a

In case it isn't obvious, the 4104 is STILL SOTA for its job.
Anyone interested to DIY something with similar performance?

Re: short pickup range options
Due to the reverse square law, a useful signal will distinguish itself
better from the background when going close to the source. That's the main
thing. Radio people sometimes opt for dynamic mics.

Re: short pickup range options
Yes but that¡¯s kind of different than having a physical distance
limitation. I think most applications to accomplish what you may be trying
to achieve use filters and gates.

Re: short pickup range options
Yes, and so what? The sensitivity of a microphone can be altered by changing the preamp gain.
Whatever the sensitivity/gain combination, the ratio between distant and close sounds doesn't
