DIY Lo-Fi Sampler With An ESP32: Part 7 - MAX9814 Electret Microphone

Описание: In this episode, I try to clean up the noisy, crunchy audio on my ESP32-based sampler by swapping in a MAX9814 electret mic module. It’s got automatic gain control, built-in preamp, and puts out a proper signal — way better than the shout-only mic I had before.

Using the same code from Part 6, I show what difference the MAX9814 makes, and walk through a few tricks I tried in software to improve the sound: full 12-bit ADC resolution, DC offset removal, and a quick low-pass filter. The result? Slightly better. 🎛️

👂 What do you think?
Should I stick with this crunchy sound or go hi-fi with an external ADC? Let me know in the comments!
