Microphone Preamplifier with Diode Clipper for SSB Transceivers

Microphone Preamplifier with Diode Clipper for SSB Transceivers: Learn how to build high-performance microphone preamplifier featuring a diode clipper. This guide breaks down transistor stage and 1N914 limiting mechanism.

In the world of amateur radio (RF) and DIY audio, getting a “clean” signal is often a game of balance. You need enough gain to make your voice heard, but you must prevent over-modulation which leads to distortion. The circuit provided is a classic solution: a single-stage preamplifier coupled with a parallel diode clipper.
