This is my LM4562 based preamplifier. Noise free and transparent sound - this is what I can say after first tests. Output offset voltage (even without DC blocking caps) - about 1-3mV. This PCB can be used for every dual op-amp.
I used R3,R9: 2k, R4,R10: 680R.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

veteran pre amplifier circuit for op-amps
.
The circuit looks good and I see no problems.
Not even if somebody would like to use higher gain.
(change R3/R9 to higher value)
Data:
Input impedance: 47 kohm
Output impedance: 47 ohm
HF Noise, high freq filter at input: 1 kohm + 47pF
Voltage gain: x 3.0 ( ~ +10dB )
Power supply: +/- 15V regulated
As you told, veteran,
this circuit would suit most any other audio op-amp.
The chosen input 47kohm is a good value.
And the gain, x3, is also often all we would need in an audio preamp.
One question, because I haven't studied LM4562 closely, yet.
How much Supply Current is drawn by one LM4562 chip (two channels)?
Thanks for sharing your schematic.

veteran said:Neutral, with lots of air. You can also bias this op-amp to work in a ~class A - this will give you a little bit wormer sound.
I have to say that my signal path is a typical DC in this application - without capacitors and there is only minimal offset.
do you have a circuit for bias in class A? Which values do you recommend?
tino96 said:good work,
You have the PCB layout to share?
many tnx in advance
Why not I'm working on another version of this board so here you are:

Are you using a buffer with unity gain in the second implementation for any special reason ?
Do you expect any difference in sound ?
Veteran :
Warmer sound generally means added even order harmonics.
So does class A bias increase the distortion figures here ?
Cheers.

So why don't you jumper C3/C4 and C7/C8 caps?

would you have the FINAL PCB made available for purchase?

Take a closer look to my picture - there are jumpers instead of those components

Tolu said:Hi Veteran
where are your price and order informations on your site?
Tolu
There is no pricelist on my site because only few boards for my project are available - I always order about 20-30.
wim said:Nice design Veteran. What's the price a board?
Do i understand that it will work with a OPA2134 too?
What VA (W) toroid do you recomment?
Thank you Wim. It will word with every pinout compatible op-amp (two of them inside like OPA2134, OPA2640, ...). Price for one - about 5$. I have to check if I still have them.
Re: Re: Re: LM4562 (dual op-amp) simple preamplifier
The feedback capacitors (C3/C7) do not seem to be jumpered. But at least it can be easily done in the assembly.
