how can i increase sound in circuit Opic and opa alice

[amir hossain]

hi, I had a bm 800 mic and a 15 dollars phantom power.

i saw opic circuit and made a opic curcuit on vero board with a jli2555b capsule

but it's sound is very low

i can not buy an audio inface right now, because that costs more than 100 dollars. i already bought opa1642 and jli2555b capsule

is there anyway to increase sound 20 dB in that circuit

To what are you plugging it in?

To what are you plugging it in?

sometime in laptop but mostly in my phone in 3.5mm jack

With maybe 3-5V powering the mic, you won't be getting much (level) out of it anyway, I'm afraid...

Single sided OPIC, or symmetric output OPIC?

How is the output from the phantom power supply wired to the 3.5mm jack?

I interpreted the original posting as saying he has one of those cheap separate phantom power adapters, which usually can do 48v.

That raises the question of whether it's connected correctly.

i can assure you, it's connected correctly, it sounds good (better than bm800) but it's just the sound that is low, something i did not expected while making it
i can increase sound in laptop but it also increases noise

Thank you for your information. Can you tell me a circuit that can amplify like this,like it has a gain controller.

I am sorry my english is not good.
I feel sad after spending ~50 dollars (mostly on shipping).

Opic circuit that uses 1642.
I wanted to make opa alice but for me that was hard to make on vero board.

Yes, on xlr pin2 to pin1and pin3 to pin1 it shows 47 ish volt

That is a symmetric output circuit, but a laptop input is single ended, not differential.
How is the XLR output from the phantom power supply connected to the 3.5mm plug?

That cheap phantom power uses a 18v 600ma adapter to power itself.
It has 1 male and 1 female xlr port (i don't know how to discribe)
Now,
From the mic xlr connects to phantom power then from the phantom power another xlr to 3.5mm jack connects to laptop/phone.
I will attach a photo similar to it
