Questions

How big is the Preamp simple PCB?

It measures 51 × 29 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Preamp simple use?

13 parts, built around the TL072CP. 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 simple KiCad files?

From the pgroon/simple-mic-preamp repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is preamp_simple.kicad_pcb and its schematic preamp_simple.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Preamp simple design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask pgroon before reusing the design.
