The project presented here is a sensitive sound sensor. The circuit converts sound frequency and outputs DC voltage.  The board consists of LM358 OPAMP and LM2907 IC. LM358 is used as a dual-stage microphone preamplifier and LM2907 acts as a frequency to voltage converter. The circuit provides analog voltage output when it detects sound. The output of the sensor is proportional to the audio sound frequency detected through the condenser microphone. The output voltage swings from 3.5V to 10.8V proportional to frequency 330Hz to 933Hz. Output is zero when the sound frequency is below 330Hz. Users may try with other frequency ranges, which can be changed using the following formula, Vo = R9 × C6 × VCC × f. The sensor has better response and accuracy than many sound sensors available on the market. The operating Supply is 12V DC and consumes 20mA current. Jumper J1 and J2 are closed for normal microphone operation.

Note: Output voltage of the sensor is dependent on frequency not on sound level. Output DC voltage is proportional to sound frequency detected using the microphone. Ordinary sound sensors’ output swings with sound level.

Optional Direct Audio Signal input

Circuit also has an optional provision to feed a direct audio signal

  • Install the following components for direct audio input: CN2 3.5mm EP socket, Jumper J3 (Solder Jumper located under PCB) closed, 10K trimmer Potentiometer to adjust the input audio signal, the input signal should not exceed 28V peak.
  • CN2 Stereo Audio Socket Digi Key Part #CP1-3525N-ND, PR1 Trimmer Potentiometer 10K Digi key Part #478-601030-ND
  • Do not install the following components for the direct audio signal, J1, J2 Jumper (Solder Jumper Located under PCB) R2, R3, U1, R4, R6, R8, C4, R5, R7.
