The ANAVI Dev Mic is a compact, open-source microphone designed for makers and developers. It comes as a DIY (do-it-yourself) kit with a simple and straightforward assembly process. You can easily put it together with just your hands, though having a screwdriver on hand will make it even easier.

Hardware

The ANAVI Dev Mic kit includes the following components:

• Gold-plated black printed circuit board (PCB) with white silkscreen
• Top acrylic enclosure
• Bottom acrylic enclosure
• Four M2.5 10 mm screws
• Eight M2.5 nuts

Note: A USB-C cable is not included. You can either purchase one separately or use an existing cable you have on hand.

Step 1: Remove Protective Film

The acrylic enclosures are made from laser-cut parts, each covered with a protective film on both sides. Carefully peel off the film from all surfaces to reveal the crystal-clear acrylic underneath.

Step 2: Attach Top Acrylic Enclosure

Locate the printed circuit board (PCB) and the top part of the acrylic enclosure, which has a circular opening for the microphone. Align the acrylic enclosure with the white silkscreen circle on the black PCB. Insert a screw into each of the four mounting holes and secure them with the provided nuts.

Step 3: Install Bottom Acrylic Enclosure

Place the bottom acrylic enclosure over the side of the PCB where the XIAO RP2040 module is located. Fasten the bottom enclosure securely by tightening it with the remaining four nuts.

Step 4: Connect and Enjoy

Once you have completed these simple steps, your new microphone is ready to use. Just connect it to your computer using a USB-C cable and you’re all set!
