Well, guess what, I'm back to p2p. PCBs were a miserable failure from an efficiency standpoint. Attaching the PCB to the pins was the most time consuming part, then I had to drop a couple of component values to fit, and stuffing the board wasn't that fast, so then I thought why am I doing this if it costs more? PCBs aren't cheap, even in the quantities I order now, it is still about $0.70 per mic.
So, p2p. About 15 minutes
Testing each mic initially takes another 5 minutes, first for a voice test (sorry yes, every 1A has been forced to transduce my singing
don't worry, I hold it above my nose, so no spittle is deposited), then a white noise test. Matching takes about 1/2 hour for a batch of 16 to 20 mics.
