How does the DC voltage travel when using a condenser mic? I know pin 2 & 3 carry the power and pin 1 returns it, but are pin 2 & 3 positive voltage ??
When using electret mic at different supply voltages, does this means the loading resistor value should be = 1/2 [ Vcc / 0.5mA ] or just Vcc/0.5mA?A new electret mic is wrongly called a condenser mic and it uses 0.5mA, not 5V.
Most electret mics are spec'd with a current of 0.5mA. For a 2-wires electret mic the supply resistor/load resistor is at the drain of an internal JFET so the gain is affected a little by the value of the resistor.When using electret mic at different supply voltages, does this means the loading resistor value should be = 1/2 [ Vcc / 0.5mA ] or just Vcc/0.5mA?
No, there isn't. Pin 1 is ground. Phantom power is equally applied to the two signal lines, ie. Pins 2 and 3.So is there actual voltage running on pin1???
