Crusty - Just saw this. Check your-email.Wayne, do you have access to a copy of Attack and Release Time Constants in RMS-Based Compressors and Limiters, by Fred Floru?

Re: A Direct-Coupled Input-Capacitorless Active Mic Preamp
I found the 1/f component to be quite high in a number of caps I tested even with the input terminated in 150R and Rbias at 1k. These samples were Panasonic SU-series so as you often say YMMV. For new never-before-powered caps it took them 30 minutes or more to get "quiet." I did find the ...

Re: A Direct-Coupled Input-Capacitorless Active Mic Preamp
John - Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I think the comment made was for a topology that didn't provide correction of differential offsets from mic-induced errors. I saw that problem from the get-go and the posts here deal with that issue in great detail. I wrote early on: 7) Because DC ...

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors - Boards
Thanks Paul! Yes, they're in. Note that postage is going up Mother's Day and all rate bets are off. I hope to have an early BOM posted here soon and there are those schematics to get drawn for Roger to tidy up.

Re: 1510 -- servo, or not ?
Have you looked at this one? No input or Cgain caps. http://www.picocompressorforum.com/forum/php/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=14 I would do the offset servo differently now and change a couple of things but it's passed the proof-of-concept stage and works. Roger sent me some AT3525s to try with it. The ...

Re: 1510 -- servo, or not ?
So I'll be OK using the two 3.3k resistors and 22k for the center resistor? Yes, to make my rather long story short that should work fine. :ugeek: Without coupling caps however that extra resistor doesn't bring much to the party. Have you considered using a 1512? It would drop in the same socket an...

Re: 1510 -- servo, or not ?
Using the T-bias scheme, what impedance will a mic see? I'm concerned about loading dynamic and ribbon mics. I have built a preamp around the 1510 using two 3.3k resistors to ground using the rule of thumb that the input impedance should be 10x the mic impedance (I do have a 600-ohm mic, AT804, and...

THAT1646 Operation From A Single Supply Voltage
Here's one way to operate and bias a THAT1646 for single supply operation: https://www.ka-electronics.com/images/jpg/THAT1646_Single_Supply.jpg Image courtesy of THAT Corporation If the input is at or near the same DC potential as Vref (the one-half Vcc potential at the output of U2A) then C2 and R1...

Re: Using the THAT1646 As A Transistor Pre-Driver/Headphone Amp
They are an insulated TO-126 on a 2.28 mm pitch. 0.1" may be close enough.raf wrote:I need to re-pitch the output device pads... I used 0.1" thinking they were TO220, they are, what TO126?
Thanks Roger and Doug.

Re: Using the THAT1646 As A Transistor Pre-Driver/Headphone Amp
I had a chance to check the PC board a few weeks ago and run a few measurements. The output Vos was <5mV. The orginal slew rate was thought to be ~4V/us but when re-measured turned out to be ~8V/us. This is consistent with the THAT1646 when driven in the "common mode" configuration. The RM...
