## Overview

The Adafruit Electret Microphone Amplifier (MAX9814) is a compact, high-performance audio sensor featuring a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and built-in Auto Gain Control. Designed for dynamic sound environments, it automatically adjusts amplification to prevent clipping and enhance quiet sounds. Fully assembled with a pre-soldered electret microphone, it offers configurable gain settings up to 60 dB, making it ideal for professional audio projects, sound-reactive applications, and seamless integration with microcontrollers.

## Description

Add Ear to your Project with this Well-designed Electret Microphone amplifikatör with Agc. Bu test Fully Assembled and Board Comes with a 20 – 20 kHz Electret Microphone Soldered on. for the Amplification, we use the Maxim MAX9814, A Specialty çip that is designed for Amplifying Electret Microphones Situations where the Loudness of the ses ISN c'ergisi predictable. Bu Fancy Microphone amplifikatör Module is a Step above the kalan, with Built Otomatik olarak Gain Control. The Agc in the amplifikatör Means that Nearby Loud "" sesler will be Quieted SO THEY Don't Overwhelm & "Clip" The amplifikatör, and even Quiet kullanıldığında, far-Away sesler will be Amplified. Bu amplifikatörü IS Great for you want to Record or DETECT ses A setting where seviye Change ve you Don't Want To Have to Tweak the amplifikatörü Gain All The Time. The çip At The Heart of bu Amp is the MAX9814, and has a FEW Options. You Can Configure with the Breakout varsayılan "Max Gain" IS 60dB, but can be seti to. or 50DB by Jumpering the gain pin to VCC or Ground. You Can also Change the Attack/Release Ratio, from the varsayılan 1: 4000 to 1: 2000 or 1: 500. the Ouput from the Amp IS About 2 VPP Max on a 1.25 V DC Bias, so it can be ile kolayca any analog/dijital dönüştürücü that is up to 3.3 V giriş. iF you want to use A Pipe IT into a Line giriş, 1 – 100UF engellenmeyen kondansatör serisi (100UF sesler Best). için ses-Reactive projects, we Suggest Using FFT Driver Library (such as the one bu Library) which can Take The ses giriş ve "Translate IT Into Frequencies IF you" Just need to keep Track of ses seviye eğitim, See our ses düzeyi metre for Arduino each Order Comes with One Assembled ve test edilmiş, with Electret MIC Pre-Soldered on, and a small Piece of başlığı. our eğitim will get you Started with Using ve testi the Microphone amplifikatör ve genel amaçlı you can check out our mikrofon

Review: Incredibly good mic and super responsive even at low volume - Incredibly good mic. I'm using it to feed a Colorful X1 addressable LED strip controller and have also used it with Arduino's and Teensy's. It picks up low sound music and voice incredibly well, even though its now effectively hidden away and sealed in behind an enclosure. Stunning at the price, so much so that I've just bought another one :)
Review: Another great Adafruit Product - As with all Adafruit products this sensor had a very nice finish, came neatly packet in an antistatic zip lock bag with headers pins (a few spare too). Connected and works absolutely fine, there is of course support through the Adafruit website that provides programming libraries and tutorials which are always good quality and worth a look!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a way to disable the auto gain control?**
A: Consulting the datasheet for the Pin-14 (TH) function we see:
Pin-14 AGC Threshold Control. TH voltage sets gain control threshold. Connect TH to MICBIAS to disable the AGC.
MICBIAS is Pin-13.
However neither of these IC pins are brought out to the PCB header, so you will have to link the pads out on the PCB, this can be accomplished by shorting the pads of 150k resistor R1 on the underside of the board.
Unfortunately there is no PCB annotation for this resistor! Therefore from my examination of the artwork (available on the web) and looking at the board itself, this resistor is the only 150k fitted and is is located at the right hand side of the chip as the upper most SMD part viewed with the header on your left.
However to be sure I would advise a search for the module on the web and you should be able to find the circuit and PCB (Eagle) layout along with the MAX9814 datasheet to confirm this link modification.

**Q: What type of enclosure did you use? Do you have something that can be printed on a 3D printer?**
A: I just fitted it in a plastic box, it was to monitor sound in an engine test cell.
