Course Overview
This 3-day electronics course covers basic electronics, aspects of troubleshooting and testing. Students will also construct a microphone preamplifier (details below). The course is designed to introduce students to the world of electronics in a practical way covering aspects of troubleshooting and testing, simulation and construction. The bias is towards analog engineering.
Audience
The course is aimed at anyone with an interest in electronics. Do you like buying kit but are curious what lies beneath the hood? Perhaps you are a guitar player that has re-wired your guitar pickups but want to know a little more or even a project studio owner broadening their engineering skills.
Prerequisites
A healthy enthusiasm , soldering skills will help but they are taught, maths and some physics but very basic!
After the course
Beyond the course, students can further take their constructed / tested mic preamp and house it in a chassis containing a power supply. The aluminium chassis / power supply is available on demand fully assembled and ready to go. Cost is £120. The chassis is capable of housing a second mic preamp and extra circuit boards whichare available at a cost of £10.50.
An elegant finished engraved front panel is also available as the final touch !! POA
