A microphone has an output of about 10mV when it is about 10cm in front of your mouth and you are talking in a normal conversation level.
Then the preamp needs a gain of about 200 so that a volume control can adjust its level up or down.
Use a low noise audio opamp for the preamp.

pre amp help needed
Hi Guys, well i just got around to finishing my colour organ and all is now fine when i apply a line level signal, i now wish to add a pre amp at the front end so i can select either mic or line to drive the circuit, i don't know much about pre amps in terms of input/output voltages but i am assuming with a mic insert, i am dealing with a few micro volts? i need to raise this to a couple hundred millivolts using an op amp since i have one half of a dual op amp unused on my board, i can't seem to find a circuit online surprisingly, could someone point me in the right direction please?
Neil.

An entire weekend?
2 minutes to design the circuit and maybe 5 minutes to build it.
Then 2 minutes to get the generator and 'scope warmed up.
The actual test takes a few seconds.
Drink wine or beer for the remainder of the weekend.0Uncle $crooge
