Adafruit I2S MEMS Microphone Breakout Mounting

Post by jmeloche »

When using this microphone in an enclosure, is there a particular orientation it should be mounted? ie: should the microphone be flush with the exterior, is this omnidirectional and can it be mounted facing downwards, and to what extend does it need to be weather protected? Thanks in advance for any help/tips.

The sensitivity of the microphone module is omnidirectional. The port is located on the bottom of the board (see labeled hole). The port should not be blocked and should be protected from weather if used outdoors.
