0 The Apple IIgs uses an Ensoniq 085 1 synthesizer to produce sound. 085 2 034 3 Pin 1 of J25 on the motherboard is 034 4 the input to the A to D converter. 034 5 This input requires a 2.5 volt max 034 6 input signal to produce a digital 034 7 sample of the input sound. 034 8 034 9 The pre-amp outlined here and either034 0 a high impedance mike or a low im- 034 1 pedance output from an amplifier 034 2 will give quite good results at a 034 3 modest cost in time and parts. 034 4 034 5 Click PICTURE for a schematic and 034 6 wiring diagram. 034 7 034 NEWLINE 0 034 1 034 2 CONSTRUCTION* 051 3 034 4 Use a 2 by 3 inch perfboard for 034 5 constructing this circuit. All the 034 6 parts with the exception of P1 are 034 7 available from RADIO SHACK. P1 can 034 8 be anything that will fit...shop 034 9 around. Parts placement and con- 034 0 struction are not critical& but best034 1 results require a metal box for 034 2 shielding. If you aren't handy with034 3 electronics& ask a friend who is to 034 4 help you. 034 5 034 6 034 7 034 NEWLINE 0 PREAMP PARTS LIST 051 1 ---------------------------------- 051 2 R1 RESISTOR 100 1/8W 034 3 R2&4 RESISTOR 10K 1/8W 034 4 R5&8 RESISTOR 10K 1/8W 034 5 R3 RESISTOR 680 OHM 1/8W 034 6 R9 RESISTOR 3.9K 1/8W 034 7 R10&11 RESISTOR 39K 1/8W 034 8 R6 POTENTIOMETER 15K 034 9 R7 POTENTIOMETER 25K 034 0 C1&2 CAPACITOR (MYLAR) .1uf 10v 034 1 C3 CAPACITOR (LYTIC) 1uf 10V 034 2 C4 CAPACITOR (LYTIC) 470uf 10v 034 3 J1 PHONO JACK 034 4 P1 CONNECTOR .100 PIN SPACING 034 5 U1 OP-AMP (TL071 - LOW NOISE) 034 6 S1 SWITCH& D.P.D.T. 034 NEWLINE 0 ALIGNMENT* (Center at 1.28 volts) 051 1 034 2 Connect P1 to J25 on the mother 034 3 board.
