Solder external microphone

Hi everyone,

Could you please help me confirm the correct pins to solder for the stereo mount jack? Is the following combination correct?

  • 1: Ground pad 1

  • 2: L signal pad 1

  • 5: L signal pad 2

  • Jack detect: Ground pad 2

Any advice or corrections would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,


Yes, connect the 'jack detect' pad to the adjacent 'ground' pad with a small jumper so that the AudioMoth knows that the microphone is there. Then, connect pin 1 of your jack, which is the 'sleeve', to one of the 'ground' pads, and pin 2 of your jack, which is the 'tip', to either of the 'L signal' pads. You don't need to connect pin 5.


The correct socket is available from GroupGets:



and from the UK shop:



What microphone are you planning on using?
