In this video, I explain how an electret mic works and how you can connect it to the mic jack on your computer.

I'm surprise you had enough paper space for that massive drawing.

Well done! A great explanation and a great way of comparing different mics and also showing that the Microphone had the bias voltage there.
Very good explanation of how it works, but the most important part was skipped. which pins on the mic get soldered to which parts of the jack. Sad, still looking...
same here. did you find it yet?
Just use google :D
For a 3.5 mm plug that has 3 connections (Tip, Ring , Shield), tanner tech is saying to connect the ground pin of the mic to the Shield and connect the positive pin on the mic to both the Tip and the Ring connections of the 3.5 mm plug. Looking at the 3.5 mm plug, the Tip connection is the outer tip of the plug. Next to the Tip is the Ring connection. Next to the Ring connection is the Shield connection. Note that the Ring connection is sandwiched between the Tip and the Shield. As stated in the video. the Tip and the Ring are effectively shorted together since both are connected to the positive pin on the mic.
This is Great man, Thanks, I also learned something.
i use a microphone that is plugged into a desktop computer in the microphone plug on the back of the motherboard and i use audacity in ubuntu 16.04. i can here the microphone but it is not loud enough. their is a thing called "48V Phantom Power Supply" but this is for Laptop which does not give the microphone its full 5 watt power. on my desktop it has that and so i was told that it would not allow me to increase volume. but could i use a "PRE-AMP" before i plug into the computer to increase its volume. or basically how do i increase volume.
Can these be made into stereo and used with USB-C on a android smartphone? I would like to make a mic that looks like the Sony ECMLV1 and Olympus ME-51S but has the EM272 and USB-C connection where you can just plug it onto your phone and then record video with a nice enhanced mic for lots of ambient pickup, is this possible?
Excellent Job, nice explanation of the different types of Mics with schematics. With the computer connection explanation I can finally hook up my Heil HC-6 head set to my computer. The Heil has a mono jack that was shorting the computer 5v to ground.
How do I actually connect the two wires to the microphone? I have a laser disco light, the microphone came loose. I don't know how to connect them back.
Great video ! Keep it up!
So you didn't show the full connections to the TRS 3.5mm jack!....if you have 2 pins(connections) coming from the microphone going to the TRS jack connection do you connect the connections on this jack to the Tip and sheild?...or do you leave out the sheild and just connect the Tip and Ring?...please advise as you only have 2 connections coming from the mic!
helpful and has a cool intro
So i connect the ground of mic ground of trs jack (sleeve?) and the positive of mic to tip and ring both of the 3.5 mm jack ? 😅 plz help
what did you end up doing in the end?
yes. mic is mono & a TRS male jack is for stereo. S=ground/common. R= left channel positive .T= right channel.
Thanks a lot buddy
But i am facing a problem
Theres a little bit of buzzing/humming noise
I dunno whats the reason
Did you connected the positive of mic to both (right and left) channel in 3.5 audio jack?
I believe it mono
Nice work man this is good
Nice vid, thank you buddy.
Wow, terrific explanation. Thank you so much! So I have a question. There are different sizes of these electret microphones on Aliexpress. How does the size affect the performance when connected to a computer in the manner you showed in this video? Can I just simply order, say, a 16mm one and expect much higher quality audio or would it require more power?
Very well explained!
Do you know how to adapt a high impedence mic to a low impedence equipment?
Tou use a matching transformer. 50,000 ohm inpedance in primary to 250 ohm impedance secondary. Good ones are $50-100. Cheaper ones maybe $20. but can overload easily with loud sounds.
Can u help me customised 1 spk and 1 mic headphone.
Can I wire the mic directly to a speaker? Or do I need any circuit to make the sound comes out of speaker?
you need to amplified the mic signal...(p.e, with a lm386)..
dude, pretty cool. is there a way to plug those via usb? would i need some kind of interface?
Thank you
Really nice job. I truly hope you’re going into the engineering field. We need more bright kids to take us old engineers.
That intro is 10/10
nice! I learned something new from this video. w0xs
nice video bro, u make my day uwu
is it radiative?
Hello, I don't understand your language, but why didn't you show in the video which wire you soldered to which area?
how to make fliter for it
Hey, do eye see a new laboratory? Good project and very helpful.
+HV Labs No, that is my grandpa's work bench. I am in Utah visiting family.
Thank you ..good 😘😘😘😘😍
It is possible to use the microphone in voice call?
Actually yes that is the safest way to make a phone call. Off topic , but still relevant , I was watching an interview Snowden did about how smart phones can spy on you (hardware not software). We all know the software is harvesting every screen press. When you plug in an AUX cable to your phone with nothing attached it kills the internal mic because it thinks your using a hands free device. By simply connecting one of these tiny mics to an AUX cable you can safely use your phone on speaker, and use the Mic to speak into. This video of Snowden will further explain , I am sure you will enjoy it ruclips.net/video/ucRWyGKBVzo/видео.html .
@@DDBAA24 Plugging in any peripheral mic will not get the phone's OS to disable its audio routing, if it is supposedly logging mic data, it will just use the attached peripheral mic as the primary device and keep spying.
good video
i have that exact meter on my bench! use my Fluke a lot more nowdays though.😕
What is an electred made out of??
Normally it’s a polyethylene sheet film.
Cool!
ty
Your voiceee isss sooo cleaaan
thats cool
Hey Tanner, please please, for the sake of the older set of your audience try to make your drawings a little larger. No, a lot larger. Use a big fat sharpie and then scale the drawing so the fat line is still legible. Great video! I know none of this stuff but you make it understandable. Thanks again. Your Grandfather must be very proud to have such an accomplished grandson. Cheers!
PS love that meter! I bet your Grandfather has a pretty cool slide rule somewhere on that work bench.
Sounds good! Yeah, those drawings are a bit small to read. I'll have to ask my Grandfather if he has a slide rule haha! It is probably somewhere in his basement.
thanks
Best intro
How old are you? I love your videos.
17, thanks!
Wow!! 😃😃😃😃
your intro is dellicious
Thank you , I just cried . I subbed on the strength of his face in all of 3 seconds 😂
Here is how to wire the microphone to the 3.5mm jack: If using a TRRS 3.5mm jack, then connect S to electret positive terminal and the second R to the electret negative terminal. If using a TRS 3.5mm jack, then connect T and R to electret positive terminal and S to the negative terminal.
I did that, but it doesn't seem to work on my desktop, or laptop.. Any idea?
Can anyone tell me what color is S and what color is R
Where did you get all that knowledge.
Can you refer some books or something or any tip
in our science book
Now I know what to do with my electret mic that I got from a fax machine
Cheers for the help hunch back of Notre Dame 😂
How much rupee in a mic
I live in Utah
Noice
Oyea
Shower more often i could fry an egg on your hair
Your voice is quite similar to Kurt Cobain's
all 3 microphones sound almost the same to me... *cries in hard of hearing*
why didnt you use a mic?
You never take shower..
Btw nice explanation and i just made a mic 🎙 using your video it works thanks 😊
Что рахит рассказал? Не хрена не понял.
Speed no watch
Tenx bro ♥♥♥ I am very happy, so I wish you what I like, which is to accept Islam
Your drawings are too tiny
