I will use the electret mics with polarity from now on. The LM393 circuit is a clap module but not the one that AudioGuru is referring to (mine has only 3 pins). I do also have the 4 pin version but that doesn't work with headphones. And oddly enough, its quality is quite good for a clap sensor (but still not good enough) |

It will not drive a speaker, unless you just want it to make a click, when it picks up a sound. |
| Audioguru:
The LM393 plays audio with lots of "overdrive" (because it has very high gain and no negative feedback) producing severely distorted squarewaves. Like acid rock "music". I think the transistor preamp had a lowpass filter to cut high audio frequencies letting the clipping from the LM393 produce the severe distortion. |

Was looking for the same sort of schematic. A real PITA to build. Do an eBay search for "DC 3.7V-6V MIC AMP MAX9812L+TDA1308 Stereo Microphone Headphone Amplifier Module" Works like a charm! (only used cheap earbuds, but can go to an extremely high volume) There is already a DC bias on the electret mic input. Just plug in your electret mic, battery & headphones (small speaker?) & good to go. An AC->DC wall wart DOES cause a hum though..battery power is quiet. |

I can even hear my voice with it. --- Quote from: Audioguru on December 01, 2018, 08:10:24 pm ---The LM393 plays audio with lots of "overdrive" (because it has very high gain and no negative feedback) producing severely distorted squarewaves.

I just bought it and will give feedback about it when it arrives. |
