Post Project 61: KaraOkay Microphone Amplifier
The two opams are biased at 0.5 Vcc with the help of voltage divider R19-R20.
The circuit is built on the printed circuit board shown here, which was designed for compactness and low noise. The tone and volume controls P1, P2 and P3 as well as microphone input and USB supply connectors K3 and K1 are all on the PCB, avoiding wiring that would make the circuit susceptible to hum and noise. The photos illustrate a suggested method of housing the amplifier board in a compact, strong but not beer resistant, ABS case.
