Hey all,
As im designing a electret condenser mic pre amp using TS974 and connect with power amp TDA2822M,what surprise me is that there is like no amplification occur.When i put audio signal at distance 5cm,the audio signal will amplify but when its out that range,no audio signal present.
As in my calculation ,my pre amp is 45 dB gain and power amp is at minimum 39dB gain.At output of TS974(conversation environment at 0.02Pa,1meter distance),the output voltage as calculated is 0.16mV and at 5cm distance,the output is 3.2mV.
When im using audio generator,i put a 400Hz signal at the input and measure at the output,its look like a perfect amplification(nice sinusoidal).But if i put a real audio signal(my handphone mp3 sound),only at max 5cm it will amplify.
My question : 1)Can i increase the gain for Power amp(TDA2822M)?
2)What is my option?Replace new Power amp with high gain or use transistor as external component?
Thanks in advance!!!
