I have been wondering about this for some time. I am a musician and artist, not an engineer by any means. I'm wondering if someone out there knows enough about how mic pre amps actually are built and work to explain all the components in laymens terms...no really technical jargon.
Lets take for example a simple burr brown based mic pre amp. What is in that thing to make everything work? I know there's in and out connectors, and a chip to amplify the signal (this is the burr brown?) but honestly, outside of that I get pretty lost.
I need someone who has enough knowledge to explain it simply, input to output. Any builder or manufacturer welcome in this thread. If you can explain what happens in your product that would be helpful. Let's not get into eq and compressors, just a mic preamp. Let's try this question too. What is the bare minimum of components you have to have to properly amp a mic?
