Why are phone microphones so bad?
Why do cell phone/telephone microphones sound so bad? The sound quality on cell phones is poor due to their small, omnidirectional microphones that must be operated within strict confines for “optimal” sound quality.
How do I turn up my mic sensitivity?
In the Sounds Settings window, look for Input and Choose your input device and then click the blue Device properties link (circled in red) in the screenshot below.. This will pull up the Microphone Properties window. Click the Levels Tab and you will then be able to adjust your microphone volume settings.
What sensitivity should I look for in a phone mic?
Most phone mics have automatic gain control, active noise cancellation, and other processing which makes having a sensitivity spec somewhat useless. Additionally you don’t care about a mV/Pa spec since you do not have access to the analog signal anyway. You might want something like dbFS/Pa.

What are microphones and microphone properties?
Microphones have various properties that determine how they interact with sound. There are five key properties to consider, including: The frequency response is the output level or sensitivity of a microphone over its operating range from the lowest to highest frequency.
What is the maximum level of sound a microphone can accept?
The maximum SPL (sound pressure level) the microphone can accept is measured for particular values of total harmonic distortion. This is generally inaudible, so one can safely use the microphone at this level without harming the recording. The dynamic range of a microphone is the difference in SPL between the noise floor and the maximum SPL.
