Audio Interfaces 

 

SIM800C provides an analog input (MICP; MICN), which could be used for electret microphone. The module 
also provides an analog output (SPKP; SPKN). 

Table 12: Audio interface definition 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

SPKP/SPKN output can directly drive 32

 receiver. 

AT command “AT+CMIC” is used to adjust the input gain level of microphone. AT command “AT+SIDET” 
is used to set the side-tone level. In addition, AT command “AT+CLVL” is used to adjust the output gain level. 
For more details, please refer to
