Specifications, component counts and packaging are configurable. Figures shown reflect our standard configuration.
Key features
- Analog output reflects ambient sound intensity.
- Sound-sensitive capacitive electret microphone converts sound waves into tiny voltage changes via membrane vibration.
- LM358 proportional amplification with a voltage-follower stage for wide output-impedance compatibility — typical gain 50x.
- On-board potentiometer fine-tunes the gain; new revision changes module size only.
Frequently asked about this product
How do I connect the Sound Sensor Module to my controller board?
The Sound Sensor Module uses the standard 3-pin GVS (Ground-VCC-Signal) interface with an XH2.54 connector, so it plugs straight into Arduino UNO, ESP32, micro:bit and our sensor shields with a regular sensor cable — no soldering required. It works with Arduino IDE, Mixly, Mind+, Scratch and mBlock.
What voltage does the Sound Sensor Module run on?
The Sound Sensor Module runs from a standard 3.3-5 V DC supply (USB or the controller’s 5 V rail). It draws only a few milliamps in normal operation, so it is safe to power from the controller board itself for classroom builds.
What projects is the Sound Sensor Module good for?
The Sound Sensor Module is built for STEM and robotics education: classroom demonstrations, science-fair projects, robotics club builds and competition robots. It pairs with the rest of our module range — same connectors, same voltage, same toolchain — so students move from first circuit to competition robot without changing platforms.
What certification do the robotics and electronics products carry?
Controller boards, sensors and modules ship with CE marking and RoHS-compliant components, and the range is designed for classroom use under teacher supervision. Product-specific test reports and declarations of conformity are available for distributors on request.
What is the minimum order quantity, and can I get a sample first?
These are standard catalogue lines with stable production, so minimums are low and lead times are short. Samples ship within about a week and are normally credited against a first order. Mixed-SKU cartons are accepted for evaluation orders.
