Internal laptop microphone wiring

[German_John]

Hey all,

 

I have an internal microphone from an old laptop and a small preamp. Wiring should be easy enough, though I do have a few questions:

The microphone has two wires soldered to it. One is obviously for sound and one will be ground. The only label is a "+" next to the red wire's solder point. The other wire is dark or maybe unshielded. 

I'm assuming that that one is ground, while the red wire with the + will be for audio?

 

I also only have stereo aux jacks/cables. I was planning to just solder the audio out from the microphone to both of them. That should then work with both mono and stereo jacks if I am not mistaken, right? The stereo jacks would just receive the same signal on both channels and mono jacks would receive left only (but since they are identical it won't matter anyway). 

 

Some help would be much appreciated!
