Project Description:
*****
Can a cheap ESP32 really sound like a studio microphone?
In this video, I built an ESP32 Studio Microphone using an ESP32-S3 and a MEMS mic. At first, the audio quality was very poor — low volume, weak signal, and a lot of noise.
But instead of changing the hardware, I improved the software.
By adding real-time DSP (digital signal processing), a software preamp, and a brick-wall limiter, I was able to turn this low-cost setup into a powerful voice recording device.
Now the audio is louder, clearer, and much more detailed — without using any external audio equipment.
What you will learn in this video:
