A CMoy is a pocket headphone amplifier originally designed by Pow Chu Moy [1] on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20041215055201/http://www.headwize.com/ headwize.com] Headphone Resource Site and public discussion Forums.

The headphone amplifier is designed around single or dual-channel op-amps such as Burr-Brown's OPA2134 or OPA2132PA, however, a wide variety of op-amps have been successfully implemented. As the op-amp directly drives headphones some care should be given when choosing an op-amp, some op-amps are not suitable for such low impedance loads and will result in poor performance.[2][3][4] (See Op-amp swapping.)

The amplifier's design is quite simple. It consists of only a few components, can be assembled on a small section of protoboard, has a lower parts cost than other headphone amplifiers, and can run for many hours on a single 9 volt battery. The CMoy headphone amplifier can be fit into Altoids tins and can often be found for sale on eBay by searching for "CMoy".[5]

Circuit

A typical CMoy consists of two identical AC coupled, non-inverting operational amplifier circuits each with a 100kΩ input impedance.

Power is supplied to the opamps using a dual power supply, which effectively divides the input voltage source in half to create a virtual ground. Many virtual ground circuit options are presented in the various CMoy tutorials found online.
