I'm trying to wrap my head around what's needed to convert this measurement mic pre/psu to work with an Altec M-11 mic. Anybody ever done anything with one of these?

Work involves step-up transformer to the input, and output transformer after cathode-follower at the out

I never got it to work well..

Circuit is optimized for frequency response NOT for noise (as we don't care beyond the -20dB tha tcan be shown on meter scale)

I think for the M-11 you can skip the input transformer.  The mic sends signal straight off the cathode of the 6AU6 and there is an output transformer in the PSU.

What do you think is the reason for noise as built? Layout? I was hoping to use this thing as the mic psu and preamp in one box. I will attempt to draw a schematic of what I've attempted so far, I had no signal from mic at that point.

The circuit is optimized for linearity, not noise - because whatever err-readings you have below -20 on the meter scale is wholly insignificant in real use.

Let me know what you come up with - I still have the unfinished project stashed somewhere..
