Also, is it possible to further modify the circuit to make it work on a single 9 volt battery? Thanks in advance.

The That 1510 Has an UN-Ballanced output but a Diferential Ballanced input....The Chip should work fine with a Unballanced mic but I do not think you are going to get very good performance if you try running it off of a single 9v Battery ,I would use at least two 9v Batteries or maybe some sort of DC -Dc Converter to get a +/- supply......

If you want to make a Basic portable Mic preamp then I suggest useing a Low Power Fet input opamp like a TL082 but make sure that the Output is Cap coupled to block the DC Offset.....

Good luck
