Hi-Z mics? where OH where have they gone!
Meanwhile, when all the shouting dies down, and the distracting chaff about
low-noise-figure design has drifted to the ground, the input impedance of *almost every* professional preamp sold in the world, bar the odd device intended for ribbons, is 2.6k or lower. Period. As for how many equations you need to compute the noise figure, yes, you can do it with a single monster equation, but if you're writing a spreadsheet it's easier to split it into two or three. Makes the proofreading easier. One to compute the voltage and current noise, one to add that to the source's noise (obtaining the equivalent input noise), and one to compare the result with the source noise to obtain the noise figure. The advantage, aside from being less unwieldy, is that you pop out both ways of expressing the performance -- noise figure and EIN. Occasionally useful from a human-engineering point of view.

Graham The OP's PS5 only has approximately 40 dB of gain on the Line B 1/4 in jack input. If the OP wants to use a Shure SM58 with -54.5 dBV/Pa he might find the approximately 20 dB voltage gain from an 1:10 to 1:14 impedance transformer useful with his PS5. I believe the AT CP8201 is a 1:14. bobs Bob Smith BS Studios we organize chaos http://www.bsstudios.com |
