LSK189​

JFET​

Ultra Low Noise, Low Drift, Single N-Channel JFET​

722-LSK189TO923LBK​

LSK189-TO-92-3L-BK​

It's really my mistake... But why does it work? ))))

oh man this is weird I'm not sure what to tell ya on the next board make sure the orientation the FET face is correct, you was not drinking hot fire Vodka dear friend I see you

I fixed this annoying oversight, the microphone works well again! Apparently JFet can function in different positions, and this is very good! ))) P.S. Although no. Now the microphone produces an ultra-low signal.

nice man hey thank you for sharing the build and pictures this make me so happy to see it working

Have you re-done the biasing?

Yes, JFet works both ways, and the ultra-low signal was due to the fact that it was necessary to set the correct offset with the trimmer.

Korablev can I ask for permission to use your build photos on my YouTube channel CoquiAudio? I just want to show those nice photos

Well of course yes! I'm always very happy to help with something!!!

thank you so much Korablev this means a lot to "muchas gracias" = thank you so much, and have a great good day dear friend and have fun

A very important addition, which was mentioned in this thread on pages 5-8.
Important.
If you are using a JFET LSK189, it has a reverse pinout, unlike the 2n3819.
It is important to pay attention to this point, since the LSK189 will work in an inverted state, but its operating mode will be incorrect.




In the end, I left the JFET LSK189 in this state:



In total, I desoldered the part and bent the central leg several times. But the legs turned out to be of high quality and withstood all the abuse. This does not always happen, and there are cases when the leg breaks off near the case, which is very, very bad. You need to be very careful.

oh ok thank for let me know so Q1 in that orientation works correctly? is that the case then I have to installed like that then ok ok anyway the GATE leg will be in a floating mode gotta go back and read 5 - 8

Well, it depends what part number (and pinout) the JFET is, doesn't it? I don't think it's wise to make any "blanket statements"... The datasheet for the respective part number is "holy", and that's the end of it (imho).

"blanket statements"... agree totally yes, I will know after I put it together
