Slide 25
What is the function of a microphone?
Slide 26
Converts sound into an electrical signal.
Slide 27
Microphone transducers The component of a microphone that
converts sound into an electrical signal.
Slide 28
Dynamic Transducer (No Battery) A mic whose sound pickup device
consists of a diaphragm that is attached to a movable coil. As the
diaphragm vibrates with the air pressure from the sound, the coil
moves within a magnetic field, generating an electric current.
Dynamic microphones work via electromagnetic
induction.electromagnetic induction They are robust, relatively
inexpensive and resistant to moisture. This, coupled with their
potentially high gain before feedback, makesgain before feedback
them ideal for on-stage use.
Slide 29
Microphone with Condenser Transducer (Battery) A mic whose
diaphragm consists of a condenser plate that vibrates with the
sound pressure against another fixed condenser plate. Also called
an electret or capacitor microphone.
Slide 30
Microphone with a Ribbon Condenser A mic whose sound pickup
device consists of a ribbon that vibrates with the sound pressure
within a magnetic field. This is the most fragile and thus, the
most sensitive of all microphones.
Slide 31
What is the most common microphone pickup pattern?
Slide 32
Cardioid means "heart-shaped", from the Greek root word
"cardi". A cardioid pickup pattern means pickup to the front of the
microphone, and to a lesser extent the sides, with good rejection
of sound to the back of the microphone. Cardioid

Slide 41
What type of microphone would be best in long distance
recording?
Slide 42
Shotgun/Boom microphone ** These microphones have a
hyper-cardioid microphone. This is similar to cardioid but with a
tighter area of front sensitivity and a smaller lobe of rear
sensitivity.
