5 FAQ
Q: What is the maximum input voltage for the mic?
A: Please refer to the datasheet for your specific microphone, but the bias voltage is typically around 2V.
Q: Does this module include a microphone?
A: No, this is an amplifier module only. You need to connect an external electret microphone.
Q: How do I select the gain level?
A: There are solder jumpers on the PCB labeled for 20dB, 30dB, and 40dB settings.
Q: Can I power this with 3.3V?
A: Yes, the operating voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V, so 3.3V is supported.
Q: Is the output signal digital or analog?
A: The output is an analog audio signal suitable for ADC input.
