Stereo microphone preamplifier and limiter/compressor project built with input transformers Part 1

I am building a mic preamp designed around a vintage Gates Gatesway broadcast console used from a local radio station that I had scrap parts from for decades.

      Yeah the tonearm weighs a ton. Would be fun to test the tracking force. I'd imagine it's on purpose because of outdoor usage where you don't want it to skip easily much like those single speaker portable record players schools used in the 60s.

    The transformer at 17:46 is the driver transformer, it drives the bases of the push-pull output transistors. The large transformer to the left is the output transformer, that couples the output transistors to the speaker. These are pretty neat units, but as in yours, leaving the batteries in when you store it is not a good idea!

    Good day, I'm planning to purchase either the Nagoya UT-72 or Nagoya UT-72G antenna. I'm primarily going to use frequencies between 451.000 to 455.000 most of the time, and occasionally frequencies between 144 to 145. I've heard that the Nagoya UT-72G might be a better choice since its frequency range extends from 155 to 462 compared to the Nagoya UT-72, which covers 144 to 430. However, I've noticed that the Nagoya UT-72G is more expensive in my area. Can you please provide guidance on which antenna would be the better option given my frequency usage and budget constraints? Your assistance is much appreciated. Thank you.

    @t1d100 ปีที่แล้ว

    When someone has as much expertise and experience as you do, they can be tempted to move past the design/documentation stage, because they already know how 99% of the project must go. My humble suggestion would be to back up and do, or review, the design stage stuff. A flow chart of functions might help with the case layout, because it lends itself to consideration of the HID controls. You already have most of the circuit design. Reaching out for extra eyes and suggestions, as you have done, is brilliant, too. As for the component layout, to my eye, the transformers look like tubes... So, maybe a tube guitar amp construction would work... Build a metal chassis, mount the transformers on one side and dead-bug everything else on the other side. The, put that in a proper case. Hang in there! We are with you and for you. You will prevail! I can't remember, if I suggested the THAT brand of microphone op amps, if you need such. There are various models. I purchased the 1512 to play with. It is easily configured. Good specs. Sold at Mouser. HTH.

    • @kenzingzong6704
      @kenzingzong6704 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like the guitar amp construction idea. Definitely going to consider that or possibly a similar layout as that makes a lot of sense. The PCBs the transformers were originally on was constructed similarly and was somewhat unique for that time period combining etched boards and tubes instead of all point to point wiring. A lot of the layout process will involve knowing what I plan to built it into first so I know what dimensions the board and project are allotted for space. Almost a chicken and egg situation, hard to know which one comes first right now. Thanks for the reply.

    Here is a test audio sample of the preamp circuit directly recorded utilizing two microphones (one each alone as monophonic as I only have one half of the circuit in test on the bench). Circuit noise is an issue because it's not actually built yet other than on breadboard, but soon enough it will be and encased and shielded from noise. For now enjoy... soundcloud.com/kagemichaels/new-stereo-microphone-preamplifier-build-test

    Thanks for a very informative video with some nice modifications. I have an interest in the Pirat detector, and I think that the full possibilities of the basic circuit have not been realized. I am intrigued by your search coil design. How was it constructed? What wire gauge did you use, and how many windings did you find to be the best? What frequency are you running the oscillator at? You mentioned the pulse width, are you adjusting the duty cycle of the 555 as well as the frequency? If so, how are you accomplishing this? I can offer one tip, and that is regarding the shielding of the coil. I have found that by winding a 1/2 inch wide strip of aluminum foil around the coil (through the coil itself, not around the diameter) gives an increase in sensitivity and depth. The foil winding needs a 1 inch gap between the two ends to prevent it from becoming a shorted turn. One end is connected to a dedicated ground wire in the cable from the search coil. Soldering to the foil can be tricky, but was accomplished by using a bit of vegetable oil as flux. If this is a project that you have a continuing interest in, I would welcome the opportunity to exchange ideas with you, perhaps through email or messenger. The Pirat is a project that I continue to return to in between other projects.

    • @kenzingzong6704
      @kenzingzong6704 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the comment. The coil as shown on the imgur gallery in the video description is 400uH around 2ohm resistive, ~1.5MHz resonant point and around half that with coax attached from cable capacitance. The *spider* coil is around 27 turns, not sure magnet wire diam. but inner diam. of former is 7" and outer a little over 9.5. The wire itself was scrapped from a power supply transformer secondary so out of luck knowing the exact gauge now but most wire I randomly tested that would fit my coil former circumference were within those same tested ranges. I calculated those values by using a frequency generator sweeping the undamped coil until resonance was found on an oscilloscope then calculating its general inductance using a known loading resistor in a similar way with a little aid from my pocket calculator. The later damping resistor in the circuit was found by trial and error until most sensitivity was found with a ruler and coins. I made the oscillator speed variable which is the "Tone" control in the final part 2 video since it has a slight effect on the size of the object being searched for, but more so for the user since a variation in in pitch is useful when outdoors around other noises. The duty cycle of the oscillator is internally adjustable with a trimmer since I found it has a much larger impact on battery life, how hard the coil is driven, and detection range which there is a sweet spot when dialed in so detection distance is best and circuit current draw is practical. I actually did try the foil idea but found it had some drawbacks to the resonant point and inductance and I didn't notice much of a change of sensitivity in my experiments but I will revisit this idea in the future when I make other size search coils as optional ones to use in the field with it. It will be some time before I get back into metal detecting now that winter is arriving here and other indoor projects are taking priority but I am always up for discussing ideas in the comments.

    Good video! Nicely done. What is the output frequency of the pulse generator? Do you have a preference for coil diameter or wire gauge?

    • @kenzingzong6704
      @kenzingzong6704 ปีที่แล้ว

      Replied to your questions on the part 1 video. Frequency via the "Tone" control is variable from 50 to 125Hz. Higher frequencies may be more useful for smaller coils or objects I'd imagine. With this particular coil I've tested as low as 20 and as high as 300Hz+. The extreme low or high pulses out of that range seem to be detrimental either for the user listening or for the detector and battery usage respectively. Circuits posted online not using good power filtering like the ones running directly off 9V batteries have some unexpected problems like the pitch going up in octave when objects get closer and a rebound effect where it still makes noise upon distancing because of self oscillation in the power feeding it. This is exacerbated when the pulse frequency is much higher than necessary because of current draw. That was one thing my modified version corrects by using a stiff power supply circuit and power filtering right at the pulse transistor. Wish I had known that early on since it would have saved me tracing down issues in the various circuit clones.
