arduino Electret Microphone preamplification will it work for dynamic type microphone


Posted on Feb 4, 2014

The circuit is okay (not ideal for quality but it will work), but there`s one small issue if you want to feed the output to your Arduino. As shown, the output will swing below ground (i. e. it will be biased at 0V) and your Arduinos analog input will only accept positive voltages. The voltage divider is made from R2 and R4, and it biases (read `hol

ds") the TO_ADC node at 2. 5V so the ADC pin sees the full swing of the signal. Without it the ADC would only see the positive half of the signal, because we have no negative power supply present. Then the output will be more like this (depending on your ADCs input impedance it may not work well though - this is the bit that is simulated by Radc and Cadc, I`ll check this shortly): Okay, here`s an option which controls the transistor gain properly (using the emitter resistor with AC bypass) and outputs a lower impedance signal that swings around ~2. 5V (V+ is 5V - the capacitors do not have to be as large as 10uF, you can still use 100nF if you wish for your input capacitor): Radc and Cadc are not components you need to add (so you can ignore them if/when you make the circuit), they represent your microcontrollers analogue input pin characteristics. Some microcontroller ADCs can have quite low input impedances which can load your signal and attenuate it (so basically you end up with a lower reading than you expected) We can see this handles a 20mV input pretty well, if we input 20mV to the original circuit (even without any loading), we get some distortion due to the uneven gain (note flattened edges on negative swing): There are still better options and variations (the above may need the values tweaking a little) A simple opamp circuit would be one, but it depends on how concerned you are about the sound quality whether you...
