Mini USB Microphone

This compact USB microphone makes it incredibly easy to add a microphone to your Raspberry Pi or computer. It's perfect for basic sound capture in your projects. The noise-cancelling feature effectively filters out unwanted background noise, and there's a small power light to indicate when the microphone is active. Specifications include a sensitivity of approximately 67 dBV/pBar, -47 dBV/Pascal ±4dB and a frequency response of 100 - 16kHz. In Raspbian, the device will automatically appear in the audio control panel. Just go to the Raspberry Pi menu, then Preferences, then Audio Device Settings, and select USB PnP Sound Device. Once set up, you can record audio input on your Pi in the terminal by typing: arecord -D plughw:1 -f cd /tmp/recording.wav.

Using this mini USB microphone is a breeze. First, connect it to your Raspberry Pi or computer. In Raspbian, it'll show up in the audio control panel on its own. Go to the Raspberry Pi menu, then Preferences, and select Audio Device Settings. There, pick the USB PnP Sound Device. To record audio on your Pi, open the terminal and type 'arecord -D plughw:1 -f cd /tmp/recording.wav'. The noise-cancelling feature helps get rid of background noise, so try to use it in a normal environment for the best results. When not in use, unplug it to save power. Keep it clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid getting it wet or exposing it to extreme temperatures.
