This circuit only has a gain of 500 if the mic has 0 output impedence, 250 at 500ohms, and it goes down from there. I haven't used an electret microphone before, but for most microphones that is way too little. I also don't like how the stages are DC coupled. This will multiply the DC offset of the first stage by 100. That may be OK in this case since the gain is so low. If you increase gain the output offset will also increase. ****************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, (978) 742-9014. #1 PIC consultant in 2004 program year. http://www.embedinc.com/products -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
