no I mean the option to use the alligator clip or the knock sensor, not both together.

I looked up the alloytec sensor wiring and it appears they don't need a separate power feed!

nope. simply signal to the non inverting input of your op-amp :)

but your mic on other hand will be a bit different needing power for it, which is normally minimal.....so you will have to pull +12v down to something more bearable and then cap it to filter DC, and send that to the non inverting input of your op amp. a blocking diode should help on the knock sensor to stop power going back the other way :)
