Re: Spurs/Harmonics fixes for v4 based on v5 board design?

Re: Spurs/Harmonics fixes for v4 based on v5 board design?

Re: mike
Martin,
Just to double check, the mic is just an electret mic like the picture below.? I don't have one in front of me to measure but it is approximately 10mm in diameter.
