This board must be installed inside the set !

Connect it up to the 12 Volt switched supply on the back of the on/off switch.

Do Not Use A Power Mike With This Unit it is already very powerfull !

It will only end up distorting, because it boosts up the mod to a set level and wont go any higher.

The VR is used to set the input level to the set not the mike level into the pre amp.

I designed the pre amp to give the optimum mod level to start with, it acts just like a speech clipper, only it sounds a lot better because it also improves the tone, giving it a really clean sound, and you dont even have to buy a new mike !

If you experience problems with RF feedback (or squeeling), then you will need to add a filter circuit to the audio wires, you can find the RF filter on my technical page


If you build this unit and like it please email me !
