Double Balanced Microphone Amplifier

Authors: Cohen, Graeme John

AES Convention 1r · Paper 2106 · August 1984

Abstract

The combination of a balanced microphone transformer and a low noise amplifier is normally used for studio microphones. A design is shown to replace the transformer and associated amplifier. This incorporates the balanced and floating virtues of a transformer without the signal loss introduced ahead of a low noise amplifier. Gain and input stage current is adjustable. High common mode rejection is achieved with a balanced output and a very good noise figure at all gain settings.
