Hi,
Besides the "current" issue, has anyone used this device? My limited
experience with audio DSP's (GAP's "Hear It" inline module) is that they
work reasonably well for moderate to strong signals. But, when you get
into the low signal strength area and high noise, the seem to "cut out"

I figured out my tune-up issue. After some pondering, checking that all
of the pieces were in the right spot and looking at the data about the

Hi Don,
Thanks for the advice. I did it the easy way. Looking at the other jacks etc
it seems that they are mounted to the enclosure panels, so probably no Pin 1
problems with them. The microphone jack is the odd one out as it is mounted
via tabs to the pcb.

Most professional condenser mikes need a bias of around 250 to 300 volts.
Inside the mike is a dc to dc switching supply that takes 48 volts
and wanks it up to the 250 volts or so needed for bias.
Mucho filtering and usually completely shielded in a can.
The switcher doesn't need much current.
