Microphone. Shure Brothers microphone, model 55S, multi-impedance "Small Unidyne" dynamic from 1951. A microphone, colloquially called a mic (/ maɪk /), [1] or mike, [a] is a transducer that converts sound into an electrical signal.
A DI unit (direct input or direct inject) is an electronic device typically used in recording studios and in sound reinforcement systems to connect a high output impedance unbalanced output signal to a low-impedance, microphone level, balanced input, usually via an XLR connector and XLR cable. DIs are frequently used to connect an electric ...
The proximity effect in audio is an increase in bass or low frequency response when a sound source is close to a directional or cardioid microphone. [1] [2] Proximity effect is a change in the frequency response of a directional pattern microphone that results in an emphasis on lower frequencies. It is caused by the use of ports to create ...
XLR3 cable connectors female (left) and male. The XLR connector is a type of electrical connector primarily used in professional audio, video, and stage lighting equipment. XLR connectors are cylindrical, with three to seven connector pins, and are often employed for analog balanced audio interconnections, AES3 digital audio, portable intercom, DMX512 lighting control, and for low-voltage ...
Audio signal flow. Audio signal flow is the path an audio signal takes from source to output. [1] The concept of audio signal flow is closely related to the concept of audio gain staging; each component in the signal flow can be thought of as a gain stage. In typical home stereo systems, the signal flow is usually short and simple, with only a ...
The H2 Digital Handy Recorder. H2 in use as a USB audio input device. H2 and H4 with 10 eurocents for scale. The H2 Handy Recorder is a handheld digital audio recorder from Zoom first announced at the NAMM Show in February 2007. It records very high quality digital stereo or 4-channel audio on a hand-held unit, and has been called "the studio ...
Shure SM58. The Shure SM58 is a professional cardioid dynamic microphone, commonly used in live vocal applications. Produced since 1966 by Shure Incorporated, it has built a reputation among musicians for its durability and sound, and is still the industry standard for live vocal performance microphones. [1][2][3] The SM58 is the most popular ...
The transient generated when a microphone is hot-plugged into an input with active phantom power can damage the microphone and possibly the preamp circuit of the input [10] because not all pins of the microphone connector make contact at the same time, and there is an instant when current can flow to charge the capacitance of the cable from one ...
