A Dynamic Microphone Soundcard Amplifier

"A good tutorial on interfacing microphones to soundcards." This was the brief description preceding Paul Loewenstein's article in the original edition of audioXpress. We think that's more to it.

This article was originally published in audioXpress, February 2008.
