Hi,
I'm pretty new to the whole theremin thing but I'd love to make one... unfortunately my electronics skills are not all that good either! I am trying to build Paul Godfrey's design (http://www.theremin.rwi.org.uk/)... this may be a stupid question but how exactly is the power and output wired up? On his schematic there is a terminal connected to ground, I connected this to the -ve output connection, then +ve output to -ve power supply, then +ve power supply to the other terminal (if that makes any sense). The thing is this gives around 11V to the output, surley that is too high to be amplfied? Any help is greatly appreciated!
