OPEN SOURCE DIY Mic Project - ORS 87 - Stripped Down u87
Please refer to the following GroupDIY thread for the BOM and more information about this project:

Additional and Notes from the PCB Author:
- C7 Capacitor Selection: Only one C7 capacitor is required. The PCB includes various layout options to accommodate different capacitor sizes and types, ranging from large 1μF film capacitors to small electrolytic or tantalum capacitors. If using a polarized capacitor, ensure correct alignment of the terminals (+/-).
- C5X and C6X Capacitor Layouts: Multiple capacitor layouts are provided for C5X and C6X, allowing the use of one or two capacitors.
- C5X Low-Frequency Filtering Adjustment: C5X is used for low-frequency (LF) filtering. Increasing the capacitance value decreases the filtering effect. The U87 AI circuit uses a 47nF capacitor for C5A. If desired, an additional capacitor (C5B) can be added to further reduce LF filtering. Valid options for C5B include 22nF, 33nF, or 47nF, assuming a 33nF capacitor is used for C5A.
- C6X High-Frequency Filtering Adjustment: C6X is used for high-frequency (HF) filtering. Increasing the capacitance value increases the filtering effect. The U87 AI circuit uses a 160pF capacitor for C6A. If desired, an additional capacitor (C6B) can be added to enhance HF filtering. Valid options for C6B include 50pF, 100pF, or 120pF, assuming a 160pF capacitor is used for C6A.
- R* Resistor Installation*: The R* resistor is used after determining the correct biasing value for the trimpot. First, use the trimpot to bias the JFET and measure the trimpot resistance. Then, replace the trimpot with the appropriate R* resistor value.
- Jumper Options (J1, J2): The jumper options J1 and J2 can be used if the transformer has a center tap for the output terminals. In this case, connect the transformer's center tap terminal to TXC, place a jumper wire from J1 to J2, and omit R18 and R19 (2k2) as they will be unnecessary in this configuration.
Kind regards!

I got the information about the part list posted on 2024-06-16, and created a Excel file with the BOM. Now it has been added to the project page. Thank you "Engineer" for your kind help with selecting the parts. Kind regards!
the 1 - C5A Film Capacitors Film Capacitors 0.033 uF 250 VDC 505-FKP3F023304D0KJ0 too BIG change it for Mfr. Part # MKS2D023301A00KC00 Mouser Part # 505-MKS2D023301AKC00 Film Capacitors 0.033 uF 100 VDC 10% Lead Spacing: 5 mm
Thank you . Will make the fix pretty soon.
There's something wrong with BOM. I think R18 and 19 should be 2.2K not 2R2.
hello, i bought the BOM, the cap c5 is too big, the r18 and r19 seems correct, i think the mouser descript_ion is wrong, i get a black resistor with the symbol H4 2K2, I measured it with the multimeter, it measures 2.1k.
Ah, good to know. And yeah 33n is too big. And also 1G resistor. I have spare one with 1/4W so use that as an alternative.
