FAQs

What is the optimal operating voltage for this microphone?

The R-TECH 524627 microphone is designed to operate optimally at 2V.

Can this microphone be used for professional audio recording?

While it captures a good range of frequencies, its sensitivity and omnidirectional pattern are best suited for general audio capture, voice commands, or embedded applications rather than critical professional studio recording.

How do I connect the wire leads?

Refer to the documentation for your specific project or evaluation board to correctly identify and connect the positive and negative leads to your power source and audio input circuit.

What does 'omnidirectional' mean for this microphone?

Omnidirectional means the microphone picks up sound equally well from all directions, making it versatile for capturing ambient sound or voice from varying positions.

Is this microphone waterproof?

The product information does not specify waterproofing. It is advised to keep the microphone clean and dry and avoid exposure to moisture.

What is the frequency response range?

The microphone has a frequency response range of 50Hz to 16000Hz.

What is the sensitivity rating?

The sensitivity rating is -38dB.

Troubleshooting

No audio output

Verify power supply is stable at 2V. Check all wire connections for continuity and correct polarity. Ensure the audio input circuit on the receiving device is functioning correctly.

Low volume or faint audio

Confirm the microphone is placed close enough to the sound source. Consider adding a pre-amplifier circuit to boost the signal. Check for any obstructions near the microphone diaphragm.

Distorted audio

Ensure the operating voltage is exactly 2V; deviations can cause distortion. Check for signal clipping in the audio processing circuitry. Reduce sound pressure levels if the source is too loud.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly compact for space-constrained applications
  • Omnidirectional pickup pattern is versatile for various sound environments
  • Broad frequency response captures a good range of audio detail
  • Energy-efficient with low operating voltage and current draw
  • Easy to connect with included wire leads and connector

Cons

  • Requires precise voltage for operation (2V)
  • Sensitivity (-38dB) may require amplification for quiet environments
  • Not ideal for highly directional audio capture
  • Durability in extreme conditions may be limited due to size

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the wire leads to your circuit according to the pinout provided by your specific project or evaluation board. Ensure the positive and negative leads are correctly identified and connected to the appropriate power and ground terminals, respecting the 2V operating voltage. The connector allows for plug-and-play integration with compatible modules.

Compatibility: This microphone is designed to work with low-voltage DC power sources. It is compatible with most microcontrollers and audio processing modules that can accept a standard analog audio signal and provide a stable 2V supply. Ensure your audio input circuitry is designed to handle the microphone's output level and impedance.

Care: Keep the microphone clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture, dust, or extreme temperatures, which could degrade performance or cause damage. When handling, be gentle with the wire leads and connector to prevent breakage.
