Nov 4, 2015 at 7:39 comment added Neil_UK what are D1 and C2 supposed to do? Your schematic has a curious mix of dots on some connections and not on others.
Nov 4, 2015 at 7:33 comment added user90392 So another op-amp would work better? What do you recommand?
Nov 4, 2015 at 7:31 comment added got trolled too much this week The circuit looks fine for its purpose. LM741 will hiss a lot if you actually plan to use it as a preamp to record stuff, but just for sound pressure measurements, it should be workable.
Nov 4, 2015 at 7:30 comment added user90392 OK, i will try that, but if you look at the circuit and the calculation, those seem correct?
Nov 4, 2015 at 7:28 comment added got trolled too much this week Unless you measure on a scope (the peaks) music is not a good test. Music has high crest factor. Use pure sine if you measure with voltmeter. And I trust you're measuring on the AC scale, otherwise it's probably just the DC offset of your opamp...
Nov 4, 2015 at 7:25 comment added user90392 I did use music, but was about 30-50 cm away. It was just some music from YouTube and it was for sure 90dB. I measured that with a real decibel meter from the same distance
Nov 4, 2015 at 7:12 comment added got trolled too much this week What was your audio source for the test? How far? Pure sine or did you use music?
