Current microphone designs are still using concepts developed in the early 20th century. A transducer followed by a simple buffer with high impedance, low power, and low gain. Even when tubes were replaced by solid state devices the same practice continued, with the low gain triode being replaced by an even smaller power, lower current FET buffer. The invention offers a microphone system intended for professional audio applications that dispenses with these, low power concepts and incorporates elements of a microphone, microphone pre amplifier, and high power mixing console/pre amp line drivers into a single housing. By combining transducer, high fidelity pre amp circuit, and high power line driving stage with a high voltage, high current external power supply, the capabilities of microphones can be greatly increased in many ways. Our approach can be implemented in a variety of circuit topologies including discrete transistors, tubes and integrated circuits, our concept allows microphones to connect directly
