Hey guys. New user here - I hope I don't come off sounding too thick...
I recently found out about this IC on the TapeOp message board and thought I'd have a crack at the circuit - I'm fairly new to recording, but I spent 4 years studying electronics in college (that was a long time ago though, so I've forgotten a lot of stuff).
What I really want to know for now is: if I were to build the basic circuit in the THAT 1512 datasheet, could I just connect a XLR jack to the input and a TS jack to the output and expect to hear anything from any of my mics (forgetting the condensers for now - if this works, then maybe I'll go look for a 48V supply to add in)?
I'm thinking of just building the circuit onto perfboard (we've loads lying around where I work) and using a +/-12V supply I found (I know it gives me a bit less headroom, but building onto perfboard also lets me upgrade things later if I'm in any way successful - and the 12V supply is free!) to power the ICs.
After reading this forum for a bit, you guys seem to be very knowledgeable, so any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Tony
