Simple Microphone Preamplifier

December 11, 2024 by Sebastian Westerhold 1 Comment
Functional microphone Preamplifier circuit on a small piece of perfboard.

Electret microphones are cheap and extremely useful for DIY audio projects. One of their drawbacks, as with many microphones, is their very low voltage output level. The easy solution is to build a simple microphone preamplifer that boosts the signal to a much higher level.

DSP Diode Clipping Algorithm for Overdrive and Distortion Effects

August 19, 2023 by Sebastian Westerhold 2 Comments
Input voltage (yellow), dual-diode step-function output from DAC0 (purple) and exponential function output from DAC1 (green) with strongly visible clipping.

This article shows how to approximate the behaviour of a regular diode in a mathematical equation and how to subsequently implement the behaviour in software. The DSP algorithm can be modified to implement different topologies, such as single diode clipping, dual diode symmetrical soft clipping or asymmetrical clipping.
