many pro audio products include, a zener diode
arrangement connected to the bridge rectifier instead
of the connection to V+ and V- as shown in Figure 5.
THAT does not recommend this approach, because
we find that R
(e.g., ≥ 51 Ω) in order to limit peak currents enough
to protect reasonably sized zener diodes (eg. 1/2 W).
Such large series input resistors will limit the noise
performance of the preamp. The ultimate floor is set
by the impedance of the microphone, but any
additional
performance.
