Introducing the Electret Microphone Amplifier with AGC, an easy-to-use solution for capturing audio in dynamic environments. This fully assembled and tested board comes with a 20-20KHz electret microphone pre-soldered, and utilizes the Maxim MAX9814 chip for superior amplification, designed specifically for situations where audio levels fluctuate.
Key Features:
-
Automatic Gain Control (AGC): Adjusts the gain automatically, ensuring loud sounds don't clip and quiet sounds are still audible.
-
Configurable Gain: Default gain is 60dB, but you can adjust it to 40dB or 50dB by changing the Gain pin configuration.
-
Adjustable Attack/Release Ratio: Switch between 1:4000 (default), 1:2000, or 1:500 for different response characteristics.
-
Output: Provides a 2Vpp max output on a 1.25V DC bias, compatible with any analog/digital converter up to 3.3V input.
-
Flexible Usage: Ideal for audio-reactive projects (using FFT libraries) or sound-level tracking (with Arduino sound meter tutorials).
Additional Features:
-
High-Quality Amplification: Uses the MAX9814 chip for clean, reliable audio amplification.
-
Line Input Compatibility: For line-level input, simply add a 1-100uF blocking capacitor (100uF recommended).
-
Pre-Soldered Microphone: Comes with a high-quality electret microphone already soldered on, so it’s ready to use.
-
Compact Design: Small form factor for easy integration into projects.
What's Included:
- Fully assembled and tested amplifier board with an electret microphone soldered on.
- A small piece of header for easy connections.
Ideal For:
-
Dynamic Audio Detection: Record or detect sounds in environments where audio levels change unpredictably.
-
Audio-Responsive Projects: Perfect for sound-reactive designs, including those using frequency analysis (FFT).
-
Sound Level Measurement: Use in sound-level monitoring applications with Arduino.
This microphone amplifier is a step above the rest, offering sophisticated audio processing without requiring manual adjustments. Whether you’re capturing audio for recordings or creating interactive audio-reactive projects, this module has you covered.
