Electret microphone information


Electret microphone capsules
This typical electret microphone circuit has a common source configured JFET inside the two-terminal electret capsule. The JFET is externally-powered by the DC voltage V+ through a resistor which sets the gain and output impedance. The output audio signal is received though a DC blocking capacitor.

An electret microphone is a microphone whose diaphragm forms a capacitor (historically-termed a condenser) that incorporates an electret. The electret's permanent electric dipole provides a constant charge Q on the capacitor. Sound waves move the diaphragm, changing the capacitance C, which produces a corresponding voltage change across the capacitor of ΔV = Q/ΔC.[1] The electret's constant charge eliminates the need for the polarizing power supply required for non-electret condenser microphones, though a preamplifier is typically incorporated to boost the audio voltage signal.
