Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a phantom microphone insertion detection circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] Phantom Power Definition: Phantom power is a method of transmitting DC power through audio cables, primarily used to provide power to condenser microphones and other audio equipment that requires an external power source. It is called "phantom" because the power is provided through the audio signal wires in the same XLR connector, appearing to have no additional power wires from the outside, as if the power appeared out of thin air. The common phantom power standard is 48 V, but it can also be 12V or 24V, depending on the requirements of the equipment. Most modern mixing consoles, preamplifiers, and recording interfaces provide a phantom power option.

[0003] Condenser Microphone Working Principle: Condenser microphones use the change in capacitance between two thin plates - the diaphragm and the backplate - to capture sound. When sound waves hit the diaphragm, it moves, changing the distance to the backplate and thus the capacitance value. This change is converted into an electrical signal output. To maintain the electrostatic field between the diaphragm and the backplate, as well as the built-in preamplifier, condenser microphones require an external power source. This is why phantom power is needed.

[0004] Condenser microphones that use phantom power are called phantom microphones. The phantom microphones on the market do not have a dedicated insertion detection signal pin using the standard XLR connector, and most of them do not have an insertion detection function. Suddenly inserting a microphone during power-on can cause noise. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0015] Figure 1 The circuit principle diagram of the utility model embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the drawings and through embodiments, and the following embodiments are explanations of the utility model, and the utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0017] The utility model embodiment comprises a power supply module, a detection module and a microphone connector DB1.

[0018] The 3-pin of the microphone connector DB1 is connected to the microphone negative pole MICN through the first audio coupling capacitor C1, and the 2-pin is connected to the microphone positive pole MICP through the second audio coupling capacitor C2.

[0019] The power supply module comprises a first power supply resistor R1, a second power supply resistor R2, a third power supply resistor R6, a fourth power supply resistor R7 and a power supply filter capacitor C3. One end of the third power supply resistor R6 is connected with the phantom power Phantom, and the other end is connected with one end of the fourth power supply resistor R7. The other end of the fourth power supply resistor R7 is connected with the 3-pin of the microphone connector DB1. One end of the first power supply resistor R1 is connected with the phantom power Phantom, and the other end is connected with one end of the second power supply resistor R2. The other end of the second power supply resistor R2 is connected with the 2-pin of the microphone connector DB1. One end of the power supply filter capacitor C3 is connected with the phantom power, and the other end is grounded. The first power supply resistor R1, the second power supply resistor R2, the third power supply resistor R6 and the fourth power supply resistor R7 play a role in voltage division. In the embodiment, the voltage P of the phantom power Phantom is 48V.

[0020] The detection module comprises a first detection resistor R3, a second detection resistor R4, a protection resistor R5, a detection filter capacitor C4 and a detection point M. One end of the first detection resistor R3 is connected at the connection of the first power supply resistor R1 and the second power supply resistor R2, and the other end is connected with one end of the second detection resistor R4. The other end of the second detection resistor R4 is grounded. One end of the detection point M is connected at the connection of the first detection resistor R3 and the second detection resistor R4 through the protection resistor R5, and the other end is connected at one end of the second detection resistor R4 grounded through one end of the detection filter capacitor C4. In this way, the detection point M is connected in parallel with the second detection resistor R4. The detection filter capacitor C4 plays a role in filtering out transient interference. The first detection resistor R3 and the second detection resistor R4 play a role in voltage division, otherwise the voltage is too high and the ADC acquisition circuit cannot receive it. The protection resistor R5 mainly functions to open the external interference and protect the chip of the ADC acquisition circuit.

[0021] The insertion detection principle of the utility information is as follows:

[0022] The ADC acquisition circuit judges whether the microphone is connected by collecting the voltage of the detection point M without connecting the microphone and after connecting the microphone. Specifically, the following is true:

[0023] 1. When the device is not connected with the microphone, the voltage of the detection point M is V1: (P / (R1+R3+R4))*R4.

[0024] 2. When the device is connected with the microphone, there is an additional load in the circuit, so the voltage is different. The current in the resistor R1 becomes I, and the voltage of the detection point M becomes V2: ((P-R1*I) / (R3+R4))*R4.

[0025] The voltage of the detection point M after inserting the microphone is V2, the voltage of the detection point M after not inserting the microphone is V1, according to the voltage taking a fluctuation range such as + / - 5%, the state of inserting the microphone and not inserting the microphone can be distinguished, the voltage of the detection point M is sent to the ADC collection circuit of the rear CPU, whether the microphone is inserted is judged according to the collected voltage, the rear audio output circuit is not started when the microphone is not inserted, when the microphone is detected, the audio output can be started after delaying 1 second and the like circuit is stable, so that the abnormal sound problem in the inserting moment will not appear.

[0026] In addition, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described in the specification, the shape of the zero, the components, the name taken, etc. can be different, the above described in the specification is only an example of the structure of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or simple changes made according to the structure, features and principles described in the utility model patent concept are included in the protection scope of the utility model patent.
