Topic summary

The discussion centers on designing a peak detector circuit to measure the peak amplitude of an electret microphone input signal using operational amplifiers such as the OP-AMP 741 or LM1458. The original poster seeks a schematic with component values to achieve continuous, real-time measurement of varying sound amplitude, not just a clip indicator. Responses include offers to share schematic files and explanations of peak detection principles. Clarifications are requested regarding the definition of "real-time" and the desired sampling period for peak measurement. The poster confirms the use of a buzzer as the sound source and emphasizes the need for continuous amplitude tracking. Some responses stress the importance of understanding schematics and encourage self-research on level detector circuits. No definitive circuit solution with values is provided in the thread, but the discussion highlights the challenges of implementing a continuous peak detector with standard op-amps and the need for precise design parameters.
