README
README.mdVOXMIC - A DIY Studio-Quality USB-C Microphone
Film lights shouldn't be so insanely expensive, but you know what else shouldn't be either? A quality microphone. VoxMic is a completely DIY mic I've designed for the Hack Club Highway to Hardware program!
QUICK WARNING: This WILL NOT WORK without the bodged fixes more information here
This is definitely the largest project I've ever worked on - Version 1 along has gone though 6 entire revisions just to get to where it is now. V2 is in the works!!!
For details about the design process or other information, check out the development journal. A local copy is available in JOURNAL.md.

Notes for v2
- Capacitive touch button for muting
- Better status signalling to user
- Upgrade ADC/DAC

Questions
How big is the USB Mic PCB?
It measures 44.1 × 50 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the USB Mic use?
71 parts, built around the B0505S-3WR2, PCM2912APJTR, ADUM3160BRWZ-RL and TPS7A8901RTJR. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the USB Mic KiCad files?
From the ConfusedHello/USB-Mic repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is src/PCB/USB Mic.kicad_pcb and its schematic src/PCB/USB Mic.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the USB Mic design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ConfusedHello before reusing the design.
