Aug 30, 2015 at 1:03 comment added Dwayne Reid Couple of things wrong with your answer: 1) The Electret element inside the microphone does NOT need bias. The bias is part of the material that makes up the microphone dielectric. 2) Every Electret mic that I have seen has a built-in source-follower FET. This FET is what needs the external bias that you supply to the microphone capsule. Typical output impedance for most of the Electret mics that I have worked with measures to be close to 1k but that can vary widely.
