To measure the success of the mic pre-amp, I made a quick test patch in MobMuPlat and Pure Data to control the gain and listen to the result of the mic pre-amp. This directory contains the two files used for this test.
During the early design process, I began testing the use of different potentiometers and their effectiveness in controlling the mic gain for the pre-amp circuitry. The results of my findings are summarized in this document.
