  2. Parabolic microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_microphone

    Parabolic microphone used at an American college football game. A parabolic microphone is a microphone that uses a parabolic reflector to collect and focus sound waves onto a transducer, in much the same way that a parabolic antenna (e.g. satellite dish) does with radio waves. Though they lack high fidelity, parabolic microphones have great ...

  3. Boundary microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_microphone

    Two examples of different boundary mics (top) and a diagram of the elements of a boundary microphone. The diagram shows the location of the mic capsule, the plate, the aperture, and the pressure zone. In 1978, audio engineers Ed Long and Ron Wickersham studied the effects of the boundary layer in sound recording.

  4. Free field (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_field_(acoustics)

    The lack of reflections in a free field means that any sound in the field is entirely determined by a listener or microphone because it is received through the direct sound of the sound source. This makes the open field a direct sound field. [3] In a free field, sound is attenuated with increased distance according to the inverse-square law. [1]

    Video games that use a microphone or headset as a control system. This might be with a plug-in device, such as the PlayStation 2 Headset, or with system with a built-in microphone such as the Nintendo DS.

  6. Microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone

    A new type of laser microphone is a device that uses a laser beam and smoke or vapor to detect sound vibrations in free air. On August 25, 2009, U.S. patent 7,580,533 issued for a Particulate Flow Detection Microphone based on a laser-photocell pair with a moving stream of smoke or vapor in the laser beam's path.

  7. Acoustic mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_mirror

    The pipe which held the "collector head" (microphone) can be seen in front of the structure. An acoustic mirror is a passive device used to reflect and focus (concentrate) sound waves . Parabolic acoustic mirrors are widely used in parabolic microphones to pick up sound from great distances, employed in surveillance and reporting of outdoor ...

  8. Audio feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_feedback

    Block diagram of the signal-flow for a common feedback loop [1]: 118 . Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback) is a positive feedback situation that may occur when an acoustic path exists between an audio output (for example, a loudspeaker) and its audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup).
