Piezo microphone amplifier

Piezo microphone amplifier

Low-noise, high-fidelity preamplifier for piezo pickups, also known as contact microphones.  The design combines an OpAmp preamplifier (using TI’s TL072 or OPA2134), together with a JFET buffer that allows the microphone to be “recognized” by things like mobile phones and
