RS232 serial Serial data is generally buffered by the operating system in order to provide the highest possible data transfer rates. This usually adds to latency and jitter. However, RS232 often provides the simplest means to connect an inexpensive microcontroller to a host computer.

Although there are different types of microphones, such devices are usually composed of a transducer element, a diaphragm that converts sound pressure into mechanical energy, and an electronic circuit in order to adapt the output of the system.
