- It works quite well! Here's a suitable circuit that Mike McTigue
- (mikem@col.hp.com) posted here on rec.music.makers on 11 Apr 91 that
- demonstrates this technique:

-
- This circuit doesn't create an artificial ground, rather the 1M and 500K
- resistors bias the portion inside the capacitors to half of the supply
- potential. The 0.1 uF capacitor prevents this bias from causing a DC current
- in the volume pot, and the 1 uF capacitor restores the output signal to 0
- volts DC.
-
- Note that this is a noninverting voltage follower with a voltage gain of 1,
- or 0 dB.
