The sensitivity pattern of a bidirectional microphone (red dot) viewed from above. In a moving-coil microphone, the diaphragm is attached to a light movable coil that generates a voltage as it moves back and forth between the poles of a permanent magnet. In ribbon microphones, a very thin light metal ribbon (usually corrugated) is suspended ...
The British Institute of Physics named its Duddell Medal and Prize in his honour. [10] In 1907–08 he served as president of the British Institute of Radiology . In 1912 he became the youngest president of the Institution of Electrical Engineers and served two terms.
In 1923, the first practical moving coil microphone was built. The Marconi-Sykes magnetophone, developed by Captain H. J. Round, became the standard for BBC studios in London. [17] [18] This was improved in 1930 by Alan Blumlein and Herbert Holman who released the HB1A and was the best standard of the day. [14]
Microphone diaphragms, unlike speaker diaphragms, tend to be thin and flexible, since they need to absorb as much sound as possible. In a condenser microphone, the diaphragm is placed in front of a plate and is charged. [2] In a dynamic microphone, the diaphragm is glued to a magnetic coil, similar to the one in a dynamic loudspeaker.

Thus a 100 mm diameter voice coil, with a 12 mm winding height has similar power handling to a 50 mm diameter voice coil with a 24 mm winding height. In 'underhung' voice coil designs (see below), the coil is shorter than the magnetic gap, a topology that provides consistent electromotive force over a limited range of motion, known as X max.
the magnetic field B changes (e.g. an alternating magnetic field, or moving a wire loop towards a bar magnet where the B field is stronger), the wire loop is deformed and the surface Σ changes, the orientation of the surface dA changes (e.g. spinning a wire loop into a fixed magnetic field), any combination of the above
A didgeridoo miked with a small phantom powered condenser microphone that clips onto the instrument. There are a number of well-developed microphone techniques used for recording musical, film, or voice sources or picking up sounds as part of sound reinforcement systems. The choice of technique depends on a number of factors, including:
