MitchElectronics Sound Sensor DIY Electronics Solder Kit, Sound Sense

The Sound Sense by MitchElectronics is an electronics kit that detects sound and produces a resulting digital and analogue output. This kit is excellent for makers needing to add a sound-sensing module to their design, and ideal for beginners looking to get some soldering practice.

The Sound Sense is a small sound-sending module in kit form which converts sound waves into an electric signal. Powered by voltages between 3V to 5.5V, the Sound Sense provides two outputs; one digital and one analogue.

The digital output is connected to a comparator that outputs a logic signal when the sound level crosses a threshold defined by the potentiometer.This makes the digital output ideal for applications that only need to detect the presence of sound. The analogue output is raw audio output from themicrophone, but because this kit uses a single supply voltage, only half of the waveform is preserved.
