Hello!
This is my first forum post so hopefully I'm posting in the correct discussion forum. Long story short, I'm looking for some microphone suggestions. I'm currently working on a project that is trying to record respiration with a small microphone positioned 1-2cm away from the mouth. So far I've tested two microphones with an Arduino: The electret microphone amplifier Max 4466 from Adafruit and CUI Devices CMC-6015-47P electret condenser microphone.
Both of the above microphones work fairly well for detecting medium and strong mouth exhalations. However, I find that both struggle to record weaker exhalations that tend to be more quiet. Any advice when it comes to selecting small microphones good at recording breath/mouth-exhalations? Eventually the microphone breath sensor will be used with a VR game. I'm not an audio expert so any suggestions would be appreciated very much!
Thank you!
