Reviews around auto gain (5.00 of 5)

  • Although next time i'd probably go for the cheaper option and get one without auto gain
  • I think the auto-gain is what really helped me

Reviews around thing (5.00 of 5)

  • I was blown away at how sensitive this thing was.

Reviews around device (5.00 of 5)

  • After trying my own circuits (transistor stages, 2 non-inverting opamp stages, 2 inverting opamp stages), this little device proved the best.

Reviews around time (5.00 of 5)

  • My purpose was to convert the audio into digital pulses and feed into single GPIO of a Raspberry, and then measure time between pulses, to estimate frequencies, and this led to being able to do some crude voice recognition

Reviews around sensitivity (5.00 of 5)

  • Good sensitivity.

Reviews around sound (3.22 of 5)

  • This was sensitive enough to pickup soft sounds for a project using an Arduino nano.
  • Even when no music was playing, however, this thing was able to pick up some of the faintest sounds; when I had it placed against my temple, I'm pretty sure it was picking up the sound of blood rushing through my veins with my heartbeat
  • For one, I had programmed dimmer colors for quieter sounds; this made that whole exercise relatively pointless

Reviews around atmosphere (1.00 of 5)

  • Seams to be perfect for regular volume projects but it’s having trouble with a loud dance club atmosphere.

Reviews around ambient noise (1.00 of 5)

  • Also less sensitive to ambient noise.

Reviews around connection (1.00 of 5)

  • I fed the audio output of this device into a comparator to convert to the square pulsesI only worried about 3 connections: power (5VDC), ground, and the audio out

More about Adafruit Electret Microphone Amplifier - MAX9814 with Auto Gain Control [ADA1713]

  • Add an ear to your project with this well-designed electret microphone amplifier with AGC
  • This fully assembled and tested board comes with a 20-20KHz electret microphone soldered on
  • For the amplification, we use the Maxim MAX9814, a specialty chip that is designed for amplifying electret microphones in situations where the loudness of the audio isn't predictable.This fancy microphone amplifier module is a step above the rest, with built in automatic gain control
  • The AGC in the amplifier means that nearby 'loud' sounds will be quieted so they don't overwhelm & 'clip' the amplifier, and even quiet, far-away sounds will be amplified
  • This amplifier is great for when you want to record or detect audio in a setting where levels change and you don't want to have to tweak the amplifier gain all the time.The chip at the heart of this amp is the MAX9814 , and has a few options you can configure with the breakout
  • The default 'max gain' is 60dB, but can be set to 40dB or 50dB by jumpering the Gain pin to VCC or ground
  • You can also change the Attack/Release ratio, from the default 1:4000 to 1:2000 or 1:500
  • The ouput from the amp is about 2Vpp max on a 1.25V DC bias, so it can be easily used with any Analog/Digital converter that is up to 3.3V input
  • If you want to pipe it into a Line Input, just use a 1-100uF blocking capacitor in series (100uF sounds best).For audio-reactive projects, we suggest using an FFT driver library (such as the one in this library) which can take the audio input and 'translate' it into frequencies
  • If you just need to keep track of audio levels, see our sound-level meter tutorial for Arduino Each order comes with one assembled and tested board, with electret mic pre-soldered on, and a small piece of header
  • Our tutorial will get you started with using and testing the microphone amplifier and you can check out our general-purpose mic
