Microphone preamp with phantom power

This repository contains schematics and PCB of a microphone preamp with switchable phantom power. It is based on the INA217 low-noise instrumentation amplifier. An additional buck-boost converter is needed for a phantom power higher than 12V.

Questions

How big is the Microphone preamp PCB?

It measures 47.5 × 67.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Microphone preamp use?

47 parts, built around the INA217AIP. 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 Microphone preamp KiCad files?

From the polykit/microphone-preamp repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is microphone-preamp.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Microphone preamp design in my own project?

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