I have a handset, identical to a regular telephone handset. It has one of those carbon electret microphones in it. I cannot get any sort of signal on my scope when I holler in the mic. I am used to the active mics, like the two pin device that takes a 1K pullup to power it. Does anyone know what sort of amplifier is necessary? Impedance of the mic element? Gain that is necessary?
