I have an old PDA that I would like to modify (if possible) by taking
out the built in condenser mic and replacing it with a 1/8" or 1/4" jack that I can plug another device into. Mainly I want to plug a standard stereo headphone output (from iPod/cellphone/walkman/etc) although it would be cool to be able to connect a line-level out from a mixer, or directly plug a guitar in. The latter ones would probably require a different circuit so for simplicity I'll just stick to the first scenario (headphones out). Assuming I successfully can de-solder and remove the condenser mic from my PDA and have two leads (which went to the mic) free to solder my new input to, what kind of circuit do I need to place between the new jack and the leads, so the input works? The PDA must have some kind of preamp built in to drive the condenser mic, so I am thinking maybe some kind of resistor or volume control to "step down" the signal strength before it goes into the PDA's preamp? I suspect the audio fidelity won't be the greatest, but as long as it's passable I would like to try. Any info would be most appreciated... thanks. |
