Microphone Sound Detection Module

The Microphone Sound Detection Module detects loud sounds like slamming doors. The module has an analog and digital output so the sensor can be ready by any microcontroller.

Specifications:
Power supply voltage: +5V
Power On LED light: LED1
Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM) sensor
AO = analog output provides a real-time output voltage signal of the microphone
DO = Digital output, output goes high when the intensity of the sound reaches threshold
Comparator Circuit: LM393
Comparator Output LED: LED2, on when sound reaches threshold
Built in potentiometer can be used to adjust the DO threshold level
Mounting screw hole size: 3mm
Circuit Board Dimensions: 35mm x 15mm x 14mm (L x W x H, excluding connector and microphone)

Operation:
Pin + to +5VDC
Pin - to Ground
Pin AO to Microcontroller Analog Input (for analog program)
Pin DO to Microcontroller Digital Input (for digital program)
LED1 will illuminate when power is applied
Turn potentiometer counter-clockwise until LED2 turns off. This is the sound threshold. Then adjust to the appropriate threshold for your application.

NOTE: The electret microphone in this module is not extremely sensitive. It is designed to detect loud noises (slamming doors, glass breaking, dogs barking, doorbells, alarms, buzzers, etc.). It is not appropriate for detecting low levels sounds such as voice conversations.
