KIT DESCRIPTION
The KAS-33100-0004 Muskie microphone evaluation kit allows for
simple and easy evaluation of Knowles SiSonic™ MEMS microphones.
•
Evaluate two input channels of audio from multiple MEMS
microphone types.
•
Microphone types include single and differential Analog
MEMS microphones, Digital PDM MEMS microphones, and
Digital I2S MEMS microphones.
•
Wide dynamic range (varies with microphone types and
audio path).
•
Selectable Clock Frequencies, Voltages, and Gains.
•
Multiple Audio Outputs – XLR, 3.5mm Headset Jack, USB
Audio.
SIMPLE QUICK START
1.
Place suitable microphone assembly correctly into socket.
2.
Select audio path and audio signal level.
3.
