If you unsolder the red and black mic wires from the pc board does it still buzz?Any ideas?

I'll try that...If you unsolder the red and black mic wires from the pc board does it still buzz?
Huh, Hadn't noticed it was a single sided circuit. Why would that matter?A Single-Sided PCB is not going to work very well for a Mic Preamp.
At the very least it needs a 2-sided Board with a mostly solid Ground-Plane on the bottom,
and it needs to be in a Metal-Box.
How particular Parts are arranged on the Board can make all the difference.
It's possible to not only get hideous Noise,
but You could actually turn the Circuit into an Oscillator.
So you’re saying the same thing that @sghioto suggested. I’ll check that.Your red MIC IN wire is an antenna that picks up 50Hz or 60Hz from electricity wires in your walls, floors and ceilings. You must use a shielded audio cable. Maybe your 9V is noisy?
You're right, on both accounts. My OneSpot 9V was significantly worse than my Cioks. But also when I removed the input, it also go better. I've made more progress on another circuit in another thread, I'll post there.Your red MIC IN wire is an antenna that picks up 50Hz or 60Hz from electricity wires in your walls, floors and ceilings.
