Interesting that they try to explain something, but I have never seen a mic=
amp with the kind of adjustable "level-control" which they say is common.
Yes, at line levels, perhaps, - or a -20db attenuation, yes, but not a
"level control" for microphone level. Have never seen it and I think every=
ordinary designer would shake his head.
Besides, if such an attenuation was possible they are wrong. Many preamps=
generates the minimum
noise at max gain. In such a case, it is best to run the amp at max gain
and adjust the incoming level, to avoid distortion.
If you make a good preamp today, the gain level control comes with the
design. The only thing that differs a HQ from others is that a HQ has a
rotating switch for gain (like 20db steps) instead of a step-less
potentiometer. And it is 20 db between the steps, not 18,63.... or
something which you get from using standard resistor values.
But I am surprised that I have never seen these unbalanced preamps before!=
The need for them has been for long.
The only remaining question is the noise level. As I have said, it is not
difficult to design a low-noise mic amp, but.... for some reason they exist=
. ?
