  2. Phone connector (audio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)

    Typically, V=1.5 V, R=1 kΩ, C=47 μF. If a recorder provides plug-in power, and the microphone does not need it, everything will usually work well. In the converse case (recorder provides no power; microphone needs power), no sound will be recorded.

  3. Microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone

    A microphone, colloquially called a mic (/ m aɪ k /), [1] or mike, [a] is a transducer that converts sound into an electrical signal. Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones , hearing aids , public address systems for concert halls and public events, motion picture production, live and recorded audio engineering , sound ...

  4. Wireless microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_microphone

    A wireless microphone, or cordless microphone, is a microphone without a physical cable connecting it directly to the sound recording or amplifying equipment with which it is associated. Also known as a radio microphone , it has a small, battery-powered radio transmitter in the microphone body, which transmits the audio signal from the ...

  5. The Thing (listening device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)

    A receiver demodulated the signal so that sound picked up by the microphone could be heard, just as an ordinary radio receiver demodulates radio signals and outputs sound. Its design made the listening device very difficult to detect, because it was very small, had no power supply or active electronic components, and did not radiate any signal ...

  6. Phantom power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_Power

    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 ...

  7. Covert listening device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_listening_device

    A laser microphone can be used to reconstruct audio from a laser beam shot onto an object in a room, or the glass pane of a window. Researchers have also prototyped a method for reconstructing audio from video of thin objects that can pick up sound vibrations, such as a houseplant or bag of potato chips.

  8. Monaural sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaural_sound

    A diagram of monaural sound. Monaural sound or monophonic sound (often shortened to mono) is sound intended to be heard as if it were emanating from one position. [1] This contrasts with stereophonic sound or stereo, which uses two separate audio channels to reproduce sound from two microphones on the right and left side, which is reproduced with two separate loudspeakers to give a sense of ...

  9. Electret microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electret_microphone

    Electret microphone capsules This typical electret microphone circuit has a common source configured JFET inside the two-terminal electret capsule. The JFET is externally-powered by the DC voltage V + through a resistor which sets the gain and output impedance. The output audio signal is received though a DC blocking capacitor.
