In general, amplifying stages with input signal levels of 10mV or less fall into the preamp category. This section discusses some basic types of audio preamps, which are: ■ Microphone— including preamps for dynamic, electret and phantom powered microphones, using transformer input circuits, operating from dual and single supplies. ■ Phonograph— including preamps for moving magnet and moving coil phono cartridges in various topologies, with detailed response analysis and discussion. In general, when working signals drop to a level of ≈1mV, the input noise generated by the first system amplifying stage becomes critical for wide dynamic range and good signal-to-noise ratio. For example, if internally generated noise of an input stage is 1µV and the input signal voltage 1mV, the best signal-to-noise ratio possible is just 60dB. In a given application, both the input voltage level and impedance of a source are usually fixed. Thus, for best signal-to-noise ratio, the input noise generated by the first amplifying stage must be minimized when operated from the intended source.

  • M61 Stereo Preamplifier
    DATA SHEET MODEL M61 SERIES TRANSISTOR STEREO PREAMPLIFIERS General: The Shure M61 Series Transistor Preampli- fiers are designed to furnish the voltage gain and equal- ization necessary to operate magnetic phono cartridges (such as the Shure Dynetic Cartridges) and tape playback heads with standard audio amplifiers. One of the primary uses of the M61 is in conversion of Stereo systems from ceramic cartridges to magnetic cartridges. It can also be used without circuit modification as a preamplifier for microphones. Advantages include complete freedom from microphonics, extremely low noise, the use of 50 feet or more of output cable in “phono” and “tape” positions, and years of maintenance-tree performance. The operat- ing temperature range is from 32°F. (0°C.) to 140°F. (60°C.). The Model M61-1 operates on 105-125 volts 50-60 Hertz power line. The Model M61-2 operates on 210-240 volts 50-60 Hertz power line. The Model M61-3 operates on battery power. The Model M61 Preamplifiers feature a single slide switch for selection of either phono (RIAA), tape (NAB), or a microphone (MIC) function. The RIAA position pro- vides the Standard Equalization for phono records. The Channel Balance: 2 db at 1,000 Hz. (for Phono end Tape functions) NAB position provides the Standard Equalization for tape and the MIC position provides a flat amplifier for Hum and noise: microphones. 76 db below IO millivolt input, unweighted The preamplifier has dual input and output jacks which Distortion: will accept standard phono pugs. Less than 1%. Measured at I volt output The input impedance is optimized for Dynetic and Output Clipping level: More than 4.5 volts (at 1,000 Hz.) magnetic phono cartridges, for tape heads, and for low or medium impedance microphones.

  • Model M65 Stereo Preamplifier
    222 HARTREY AVE EVANSTON, ILL. (60204) U S A. MODEL M65 MICROPHONES AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS DATA SHEET Stereo Preamplifier AREA CODE 312/328-9000 CABLE SHUREMICRO I I STEREO CONVERSION PREAMPLIFIER GENERAL: The Shure M65 Stereo Conversion Preamplifier is designed to furnish the voltage gain and equalization necessary to operate magnetic phone cartridges (such as the Shure Dynetic Cartridges], and tape playback heads with standard audio ampli- fiers. One of the primary uses of the M65 is in the conversion of stereo systems converting from ceramic cartridges to magnetic cartridges. It can also be used without circuit modification as a preamplifier for microphones. The M65 Stereo Preamplifier features a single rotary switch for selection of either phono, tape, microphone or a special function. The Phono function provides the Standard Equalization (RIAA) for phone records. This function is ideally suited as an input for ampli- fiers with a flat response. The Special function provides a compen- sated ceramic Equalization for phone records. This function is ideally suited for amplifiers normally used with Ceramic Phono cartridges. The has two stages of amplification in each channel, providing STANDARD EQUALIZATION for tape (NARTB] and flat amplification for microphones. A hum control (Rm) is provided and is pre-adiusted at the fac- tory. If necessary, this control can be re-adiusted with a small screwdriver for minimum hum. For optimum results the system should use a 4-pole motor. The input impedance is 47,000 ohms for all switch positions. If a higher impedance input is desired when used as a microphone preamplifier, the 47,000 ohm input resistor (R1 or R2) may be easily removed automatically raising the input impedance to approximately 250,000 ohms.

  • A RIAA Equalized Preamplifier by Dimitri Danyuk and George Pilko, Kiev, Ukraine, 1988-1990
    A RIAA Equalized Preamplifier by Dimitri Danyuk and George Pilko, Kiev, Ukraine, 1988-1990 Reproduction of RIAA-standard gramophone recordings has generated much debate from early 20th century up to now in the audio community. This debate is justified since the large variety of RIAA equalizer circuits have been presented and their performance often did not correspond to exerted efforts. This is the result of the strictly defined operating conditions: * low-level input voltage with frequency-increased spectral density, * predominantly inductive signal source impedance, * accurate RIAA replay frequency response [1,23], * matching with given cartridge (this includes specified resistance, capacitance and gain), * considerable scattering in peak recorded velocities. Several review articles on this topic represented a survey of circuit schematics [30,31]. We try to offer a broader outlook on RIAA preamplifier design by way of a more systematic approach; we restricted our examination preamplifiers to moving-magnet MM pickups with voltage gain at 1 kHz of 30 to 40 dB (wide-spread value is 34 dB). Moreover, we did not consider old dual- and triple-transistor circuits, because the performance level that can be obtained from them is not adequate to high-quality reproduction. The cited references are mostly in English, but for lack of similar circuit examples the other sources are involved. In addition, we offer a medium-cost preamplifier with relatively high performance specifications. Design principles Possible RIAA-correction circuit arrangements are presented in Table 1. The tubed preamp with inter-stage frequency dependent networks (Table 1a) was the first preamp topology in gramophone record playback history.

  • Fundamentals of HIGH FIDELITY
    No.226 fundamentals of HIGH FIDELITY by H. BURSTEIN a RIDER publication 1. contents of a high-fidelity system • High fidelity is often associated with the purchase of a number of separate audio components and their assembly by the owner. This does not necessarily have to be the case, although it was true in the early days of high fidelity (prior to the 1950's). At that time, the really good equip­ ment available at reasonable prices existed in the form of separate com­ ponents, such as an FM tuner, a power amplifier, a speaker, etc. Today it is possible to buy the complete electronic portion of the system on one chassis, so that it is merely necessary to run two wires to the speaker in order to have an operating high-fidelity setup. If a phonograph, tape recorder, or TV set is to be incorporated, one cable goes from each of these units to the electronic center. For those reluctant even to connect a few wires and mount the equip­ ment in a cabinet, there are audio establishments that will connect all the components of the customer's choice and ensconce them in a cabinet for him. It is even possible to avoid choosing separate components by buying a packaged unit containing equipment preselected by the manufacturer and housed in a specially designed cabinet. The purchaser selects accord­ ing to how the entire assembly sounds to his ear. For this reason, the fol- 2 FUNDAMENTALS OF HIGH FIDELITY lowing discussion does not seek to imply that purchase of separate com­ ponents is the only way to go about bringing high fidelity into the home.
