Adafruit Electret Microphone - 20Hz-20KHz Omnidirectional

This electret capsule microphone is designed for a wide range of audio applications, featuring a small vibrating element that outputs a few millivolts peak-to-peak. An op-amp is required to amplify the signal, unless you use chips with a built-in amplifier to connect it directly.

Offering omnidirectional sound capture with a -44dB sensitivity, it caters to diverse audio environments. It features a 20 to 20KHz frequency response, providing a full spectrum of sound.

Compatible with breadboards and perfboards, it offers versatility in project development. For further exploration into electret microphones, OpenMusicLab provides an excellent tutorial, or see our fully-assembled microphone amplifier board for options featuring adjustable gain.
