Sonion Electret Microphone Poster

The document describes the structure and functioning of an electret microphone, detailing its components such as the membrane, backplate, and amplifier. It explains how sound waves create pressure differences that move the membrane, which in turn generates an electrical signal. The amplifier then converts this signal to a low impedance output, representing the sound level accurately.
