Questions
How big is the Preamp PCB?
It measures 31.5 × 20.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Preamp use?
21 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Preamp KiCad files?
From the loxodes/emc_tools repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is preamp/preamp.kicad_pcb and its schematic commonmode_choke/commonmode_choke.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Preamp design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
