Abstract

A microphone includes a first micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) motor, the first MEMS motor including a first diaphragm and a first back plate; and a second MEMS motor including a second diaphragm and a second back plate. The first diaphragm is electrically biased relative to the first back plate according to a first voltage, the second diaphragm is biased relative to the second back plate according to a second voltage, and a magnitude of the first voltage is different from a magnitude of the second voltage.
