Microphones produce very low voltage analog signals, typically in the millivolt range (often between 1-10 mV). These signals are then pre-amplified before further processing.
“Microphone-level signals are generally less than 1 volt and commonly measured in millivolts, requiring preamps to boost signal strength for processing.”
