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

ESD protection for HiZ inputs?
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

Re: choosing SimpleP48 resistors
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

A more elaborate answer would take several pages of discussion, so "yes".

Jerry - so, I understand, your answer to my question is:

Re: choosing SimpleP48 resistors
For a start, the "9V" in the equation is not cast in bronze. One may argue that 7V or 5V is better than 9V, if only because no FET is equal to another, and noise performance would dictate to go

Re: choosing SimpleP48 resistors
Thank you for the further information, Richard. I surmise then that the short between source and gate shown in Fig 1 is internal to the capsule. I look forward to using this really simple

Re: choosing SimpleP48 resistors
The *5 - 10V is between the terminals on the capsule* i ... NOT on the XLR
The 'new' method obviates messing about with a zillion resistors or pots.

Re: choosing SimpleP48 resistors
For my devices, the Zoom H6 Essential and PUI 5024, I constructed a Simple
P48, and the chosen resistor value is 75K.

Re: choosing SimpleP48 resistors
I had explored this issue before, but later gave up. I don't know how the
perfect bias voltage of 9V for the PUI5024 microphone is generated.
However, when connecting the PUI5024 to different devices,

Fig 1 in FETbias.doc is exactly applicable to PUI 5024
Yes.? The 2 x 6k8 is standard for 48V Phantom

Hi Richard,
Can I even set up the easy test condition of Fig. 1 if my electret is two-lead, for instance, PUI AOM 5024? I then only have access to the drain and to the already internally connected

choosing SimpleP48 resistors
Pondering how to choose SimpleP48 resistors, it suddenly occurred to me that we can use the techniques in *FETbias.doc* so I've updated that in my Files/Ricardo directory.
It's so obvious with

Re: Specs for old Transsound capsules?
You can't use "voltage-divider calculation", because the FET in the capsule does not act as a resistor. It has a variable I/V characteristic. Actually, most FET's used in low-level electronics are

There's no "exactly" the resistance value to use. There is usually a range of resistor values within which the capsule performs acceptably well. And there's variation capsule-to-capsule. Yes, if

Re: Specs for old Transsound capsules?
All these capsules indicate identical*test* conditions, 2V with a 2.2kohm resistor. It does not give any indication of what the resistor should be with a different voltage.
