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

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.
Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
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

Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
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

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

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

Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
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

alix dynamic mics as donors?
Has anyone here tried either of these dynamic mics from AliExpress? Fifine K669D Maono PD100 They look like solid bodies, I'm curious if they come apart easily and how good they would be as donor

Re: ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
Yes!!! I just did this with my piezo buffer for my hydrophones. You need Shottkey diodes. See this https://www.jlielectronics.com/content/Hydrophone%20Circuit%20Design%20Update.pdf Best

I hope this is OK to ask here as it isn't exclusively a mic question but a general electronic question that might be applicable to some mics. Consider a fet input with a high impedance, that is

Jerry (and pmfalcman) is (are) of course right. By all means measure your P48V and 9V before doing the arithmetic.? Da P48V is specifically important as many so called Prosumer 'P48' devices may be
