As with our previous version of the SuperProbe, this SuperProbe2 conforms to the original Carlson circuit design, implementing a versatile non-contact very high gain
electronic probe for investigating just about any kind of electrical signal from audio to RF. The design is well proven and constructed by many DIYers.

The PCBs
This kit includes only the main PCBs with NO PARTS. There are many components needed to construct a complete probe and amplifier.
While there are a few through-hole & panel mounted components, all of the remaining parts are 0805/1206/SOT23 SMD parts.
Soldering such components requires specific equipment, soldering tools, solder, tweezers, optics, skill and patience.
We will provide the same instructions that come with our complete parts kit, but you are responsible for sourcing everything.
Schematic details are included and are identical to the original design. You have the option to construct the PCBs exactly as Carlson specified, or implement the improvements we discuss in the instructions. These PCBs REQUIRE ASSEMBLY.
The Assembly
While there are a few through-hole & panel mounted components, all of the remaining parts are 0805/1206/SOT23 SMD parts.
Soldering such components requires specific equipment, soldering tools, solder, tweezers, optics, skill and patience.
Follow the included instructions in detail. Schematic details are included and are identical to the original design.
Some of the listing photos show a particular implementation in a very compact package.
Such compactness is not necessary, but demonstrates what can be achieved. Photos may include components
not on the bill-of-material, and are included as suggestions for completing the probe.
