Mitch Electronics Sound Sense Module Kit

The Mitch Electronics Sound Sense Module Kit is a sound sensor module with an integrated microphone that detects ambient sound levels and provides both digital and analogue outputs.

Overview

Designed for projects that need to respond to audio stimuli, this DIY sensor module suits hobbyists, students, and electronics enthusiasts. Supplied as a kit, it requires assembly and provides hands-on soldering practice and an introduction to sensor integration. The compact PCB measures 20 mm by 40 mm, allowing it to fit into space-conscious builds.

Key Features

• Integrated microphone for ambient sound detection
• Onboard potentiometer to fine-tune sensitivity to match environmental conditions
• Digital output that generates a logic signal when detected sound crosses the pre-set threshold
• Analogue output that delivers a raw audio signal directly from the microphone
• Operating voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V
• Standardised dimensions, pin-outs, and mounting holes shared with other SENSE range modules

Applications

The adjustable sensitivity suits a wide range of applications, from simple noise-activated switches to more complex security system triggers. The digital output can trigger other digital components, while the analogue output suits audio processing or analysis. Because the module operates on a single supply voltage, the analogue output preserves only half of the audio waveform.

Compatibility

The module is compatible with common development boards such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. As part of the SENSE range, its standardised footprint allows modules to be interchanged within a project as requirements change.
