This project is similar than my “Preamplifier-project”, but the preamplifiers must be connected
to the mainboard of mixer. The premplifiers in this project works like modules of audio mixer.
Look at schematics and PCB design how to create mixer with several preamplifiers can be
connected to the mixer’s board. In this project 4 and 8 channel mixer mainboard available.
Read details, updates, advices on the page of schematics and notes. PCB-s and more notes,
pictures, advices about this project are available on the author’s blog and websites:

Notes

This circuit made for mono microphone inputs only. The input is mono, 6.3 mm jack inserted directly
to the board with unbalanced/balanced converter, and 3 inputs header for symmetrical phones with
XLR output. Switch module required to select between two inputs (unbalanced jack or balanced XLR).
The amplifier of this circuit is INA217. This instrument amp is very cheap, and noiseless. Volume and
gain potentiometers included. This circuit must be soldered to the mainboard of audio mixer via 2x6 pin
male “L” header.

Notes
This very simple, small, cheap and noiseless preamp made for musical instruments with stereo (or mono) input.
The main part of this circuit is 2N3958 dual jFET. Ideal for stereo or mono guitar effects, keyboards, or to
connect another devices with stereo outputs like audio mixers. Stereo jack, gain and volume adjustable resistors
are inserted to the PCB. Very cheap and very good quality for guitars. The possible gain is not too high of this
circuit, but enough for guitars and guitar effects with very warm sound.

Notes

This is another really simple, good quality and cheap preamplifier with stereo jack input for guitar
effects or keyboards. The possible gain is much higher than jFET circuit, and the sound is better for
keyboards or mixers than the guitars or guitar effects. The dual OpAmp must be compatible with TL072.
Gain and volume pots has inserted to the PCB board.

This is the last version of
OpAmp preamplifiers. This
have best quality. This is
the reason why two single
OpAmp included instead
of one dual. LT1115 or
LT1028 recommended for
best result, maybe one of
LF or NE serial OpAmps.

This solution is really cheap,
against the noise one powerfilter circuit included (for
both OpAmps). Stereo
jack input, stereo/mono
and bypass switch, gain
and volume potentiometers
inserted to the board.

The difference between
this and the previous version of board, here we
have two power filter,
one filter for one OpAmp
for the best result of really
low noise and distortion.
The circuit recommended
for home hi-fi and instruments, included instrument effects.
Gain and volume potentiometers, bypass and
stereo/mono switches included to the board with
stereo jack input.

Because the circuit noise,
distortion (and the gain)
depending on the included
single OpAmp, the solution
recommended for all nonguitar instrument, and audio amplifiers for home hi-fi
solutions.

This circuit looks like the
previous version of TL072
compatible OpAmp preamplifier, but for this, two
single OpAmp device
required, instead of one
dual. The reason of this solution is the better quality,
if you want to use really
noiseless single LF or LT
serial integrated circuits
instead of relative noisy
one dual TL072.

This is the power supply. Very simple and good quality low power circuit. Two adjustable regulators
can be fixed to the heatsink. The adjustable regulator with Zener diode have cleaner output than simple
7815 and 7915 regulators.

Modular audio mixer for 4 and 8 channel inputs

This module required for the preamplifier boards is the power filter circuit. I like to use this simple
circuit to filter the problems of power. These circuits have to be connected to the 12 pins headers
on the preamp PCB. If you think this is not important, you can wire pin 8 to pin 11 and pin 7 to
pin 12 to ignore these circuits and boards.
