We use a 47uf because it prevents the bass tones in the voice from overwhelming the audio and causing "kazoo" distortion.


Bigger the cap, the more bass response in the modulation. Bass tones distort first, causing audio harmonics that make speech harder to understand.


Does make the wattmeter show just a bit more.
