A special case of hot mic is the microphone gaffe, in which the microphone is actively collecting and transmitting sound gathered near a subject who is unaware that their remarks are being transmitted and recorded, allowing unintended listeners or viewers to hear parts of conversations not intended for public consumption. Such errors usually ...
A contact microphone is a form of microphone that senses audio vibrations through contact with solid objects.

Often used as acoustic leakage probes, they also enjoy wide usage by electroacoustic ...

The principle relies on a piston mechanically driven to move at a specified cyclic rate, pushing on a fixed volume of air to which the microphone under test is coupled.
