Greetings!!
Was doing a pin out diagram for the MC60A mic and noticed what apparently is a schematic error in the mic manual. When looking at the amp board the runs for the mic amp in and out switch don't agree with the schematic. Since the mic works fine apparently the schematic is in error.
Specifically, the emitter of the regulator 2SC1815(GR) is physically connected through the connector to the normally open side of the mic amp switch ('IN' position) whereas the schematic shows it connected to the common terminal. Also, the cathode of the 1N60 isolation diode is NOT connected to the source for the amp chip on the schematic whereas it IS on the actual board.
In addition, since the manual calls for alkaline cells it appears that the regulator is attempting to charge the cells when the switch is on!
Although the mic works in either configuration (the schematic being the desired method) the actual board connection keeps the amp powered all the time.
Has anybody else noticed this apparent discrepancy or am I going nuts?
