Long-time lurker, first post, here goes.
So I'm working on a personal voice amplifier for a face mask. I have the dynamic mic element ("www.accusonicproducts.com/pdf/G01A009-PFK.pdf2FVVVHLD_Q" ), which feeds into a 3v class A preamp, through a 100k audio taper pot, to a 6v lm386 amp with the gain set for 200.
The problem is that there is a very loud buzz present while using the preamp, which is not present while using on the lm386 amp. However, if I put my finger across the pins for the potentiometer the sound clears and be comes noticeably louder and operates correctly.
The only difference between my circuit and the one schematic I linked to is that I substituted polyester caps in place of the ceramic, I didn't think it would make much difference, but I could be wrong.
Schematics available on demand.
I'm at my wits end, any help would be appreciated!
