D104 Microphone Source Follower


This video shows how I modified the Astatic D104 microphone and added a JFET source follower circuit to it with a 9V battery. Its a pretty easy mod. I also use a phase switch. I highly recommend using this circuit for the D104. I prefer the source follower rather than a common source type circuit as the D104 mic already has a high audio output and presents a high Z .to the TX speech amp. I have used this circuit in this mic and it has been running for about 5 years with no issues on various transmitters.
