Checking out a USB microphone
https://www.edn.com/checking-out-a-usb-microphone/
I’ve been covering microphones and their accessories a fair bit lately, so I thought it’d be fun to take one apart and see what’s inside. Not just any old mic with an XLR, TRS or other analog output, mind you; I also wanted my dissection to circuitry-comprehend the ADC (analog to digital) stage, too. Though, at the mainstream (translation: low price) point I was focusing on, I fully expected that not all of the electronics bits:
Phantom power
Preamp
ADC
etc.
would end up wrapped up in a single chip.
