Hi
I was thinking of making a clapping circuit. But I am confused how microphone works. The one which I have is small drum like. I tried to get some voltages through multimeter but it did not give any good voltages. I dont know if voltages coming in multimeter are from microphone. I want to know how to check microphone and what kind of microphone should I be looking for in market and what are the voltages you might get from that microphone?

Can you post some clear photos of it, front, back?
If it's a condensor mic, it will work fine, but it needs a proper voltage supply and preamp circuit.
