GE863-QUAD GE863-PY 1vv0300715 Rev. 1 - 19/09/06 7.4 Microphone Biasing The electret microphones usually need a biasing voltage to work properly. Refer to your microphone provider for the characteristics required. NOTE: The microphones have a hot wire were the positive biasing must be connected. Usually it is indicated by a + symbol or a red point.
GE863-QUAD GE863-PY 1vv0300715 Rev. 1 - 19/09/06 NOTE: The cable to the microphone should not be shielded, instead a twisted pair cable shall be used. NOTE: The microphone sensitivity changes with the value of R2 and R3. Usually the microphones are characterized with 2kΩ biasing resistance, so try to keep the sum of R2 and R3 around 2kΩ.
