Hey Winterstone, what do you mean by specific bias resistors? Is it more complicated than just matching the impedance each input sees?Each dual supply opamp can be operated with a single supply if designed for a proper bias point (normally at 50% of the supply). This requires specific bias resistors at the input (analog to BJT biasing).

You stated that "specific bias resistors" are required for "analog to BJT biasing". I was wondering what's so specific about them.Matching of which impedances? The internet is full of opamp circuits for single supply operations. Spend some minutes for searching.

By "matching of impedances" I meant having equal external impedances to each input.
6V RMS = ~16.8V pk-to-pk, so you will need a supply voltage ~20V at least to prevent clipping.I need an output swing of about 6V max ac signal

Thanks for clearing that up. I just thought you might have some pearls of wisdom contrary to what I thought I knew. Yes, offset error is generally not an issue for low gain and/or AC-coupled amplifiers.Yes - you are right. The resistors are not "specific". It was the wrong expression.
A resistive bias network is necessary for biasing the input and the output to approx. half of the single supply.
However, in most cases, equality of the input resistors (input dc current compensation) is not necessary.
