Hi,
I was going to post this question in your "other products" forum, but then thought that it might be an interesting question for "Ask an Engineer!".
The question: Using adafruit products, how can I acquire the highest fidelity recording from an Electret Microphone?
Disclaimer: I am a novice hobbyist.
I have a project where I want to compare readings from multiple microphones. I purchased three "Electret Microphone Amplifier - MAX4466 with Adjustable Gain", but after reading through the tutorials, and some of your forum posts, it seems that with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, I can really only hope to get about 4000 samples per second. Apparently I lose a lot of data at that rate. According to a post by adafruit_support_rick (in this thread http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.ph ... ne#p191059), to read a 20-20KHz electret microphone at high fidelity, I would need to sample it at least 40,000 times per second. Which of your products can I use to acquire and save the best recording possible?

Here is a sketch for sampling at up to 100KHz (8-bit) or 60KHz (10 bit): http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.ph ... 7&p=153175
