Re: Budget self-made condenser capsule (PCB based backplate!)
Interesting project.
I made a basic omni circular capsule many years ago (I had access to a friends lathe and pretty well equipped workshop at the time).? Diaphragm material was an issue (especially

Re: Budget self-made condenser capsule (PCB based backplate!)
What impedance converter (head amp) are you using?
What polarization voltage (bias) are you using?
What preamp?

Budget self-made condenser capsule (PCB based backplate!)
I've been doing the thing that you're not supposed to do: building my own condenser capsules. I thought I'd share my technique.
I wanted to experiment with the shape of the capsule, membrane tension,

This is only a quick 'concept' schematic....
As we have discussed in this thread already, the decision to use a single sided audio output does not affect the option of creating a balanced output.

I think you could try something like this..... You could use a dual OPA1642 and a single OPA1641.
By not regulating the op-amp supply, - and carefully selecting the feed resistors for the regulated

Probably not.
In fact it would probably be better to simply regulate the Voltage Multiplier? DC supply, and not the op-amp supply
That might help minimise current drain -? which is going to be

Re: Idea for variable pattern microphone
Quiescent current of each section is rated at 2.3mA maximum, for a total of 9.2mA, which is still within specs. Does not leave much for operating currents, but it shouldn't be an issue. Typically,

Re: Idea for variable pattern microphone
You might just keep it in spec (max 10mA) if you don't regulate the op-amp supply, and? just regulate the voltage mulitplier (VM) supply.
I found that using 27k feed resistors to the VM circuitry

Re: Idea for variable pattern microphone
Remember, you have another op-amp / mixer available at the mic input, so you could feed the front buffer straight to pin 2 of the XLR. Make the 4th op-amp a non-inverting buffer if you want to get rid

Re: Idea for variable pattern microphone
Each channel draws the same quiescent current. So one of these is like 2 opa1642 Which Is too much for Phantom Power.

Re: Idea for variable pattern microphone
OPA1644 is the quad version of the 1641 (single) and 1642 (dual)
The advantage of having only two power pins for 4 opamps is often negated by the more difficult layout.

What are you using for Capules? SimpleP48 is for Electret ones that have a built in FET.
