  4. The Thing (listening device) - Wikipedia

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

    There were later models of the device, some with more complex internal structure (the center post under the membrane attached to a helix, probably to increase the Q factor). Maximizing the Q factor was one of the engineering priorities, as this allowed higher selectivity to the illuminating signal frequency, and therefore increased operating ...

  5. Diaphragm (acoustics) - Wikipedia

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

    Microphones can be thought of as speakers in reverse. The sound waves strike the thin diaphragm, causing it to vibrate. [1] 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]

  6. Boundary microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_microphone

    The boundary microphone can be used as a piano mic by placing it inside the piano lid, an approach which can obtain better pickup of the piano's mix of sharp percussive transients and gentle undertones than other microphone options. Boundary mics are used on hockey boards for body check sound effects. They are also commonly used to record full ...

  7. Contact microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_microphone

    A contact microphone is a form of microphone that senses audio vibrations through contact with solid objects. [1] Unlike normal air microphones, contact microphones are almost completely insensitive to air vibrations but transduce only structure-borne sound.

Soap is a salt of a fatty acid (sometimes other carboxylic acids) used for cleaning and lubricating products as well as other applications. [1]

  9. Electret microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electret_microphone

    An electret microphone is a microphone whose diaphragm forms a capacitor (historically-termed a condenser) that incorporates an electret.
