RLOAD is 600Ω, what the EQ wants to see.

I would ohm test the tracks back to the 470uF to one end of RGain and the other end of RGain to GAIN terminal. Encase a pad has been broken off a track.

As the soldering is a bit messy to see I would clean the pcb with alcohol and a toothbrush as well.

Ok! So I bought multiple GAIN PCB, so I did up another from scratch and works correctly.
Thanks for your help with my 1st DIY.

***One question regarding connecting power to (2) units.

Series or parallel from your: 48v 25w 520mA Switch Mode Power Supply. ??

Thanks!

Joe

You can only run multiple gains on 48v smps in parallel

Hi Joe,

I'm planning on feeding (2) GAIN kits from (2) Jensen JT-16-A for MIC pre input.

Can you tell me what to fit for CZ,RZ,RLoad,CLoad?

Thanks,

Joe

From the datasheet you linked to
Rload is 6k19 = 6.2k
Cload is not needed (leave blank)
RZobel is 4k53 =4.53k
CZobel is 620pF

Joe sorry to bother you again.

Jensen here in the US has no supply, backordered for long time on the JT-16-A.

Could you let me know same info, RLoad, RZobel, CZobel for this model recommended substitute.

JT-115k only needs Rload of 150k. No RZobel or CZobel or Cload are needed so are left blank.
