  2. Microphone practice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone_practice

    For example, if a solo instrument within an orchestra needs an extra mic for added volume and presence, placing the mic too close would result in a pickup that sounds overly present, unnatural and out of context with the distant, overall orchestral pickup. To avoid this pitfall, a compromise in distance should be struck.

  3. Boundary microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_microphone

    The predecessor of the directional boundary microphone was a directional microphone placed in an Electrovoice Mic Mouse, a foam block that suspended a conventional microphone horizontally just above a surface. Because conventional microphone diaphragms are relatively large (> 1 cm diameter), phase interference from surface sound reflections ...

  4. Microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone

    The carbon button microphone (or sometimes just a button microphone), uses a capsule or button containing carbon granules pressed between two metal plates like the Berliner and Edison microphones. A voltage is applied across the metal plates, causing a small current to flow through the carbon.

  5. 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]

  6. Echo chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_chamber

    One or more microphones are placed along the length of the room, and these pick up both the sound from the speaker and its reflections off the walls of the chamber. The farther away from the loudspeaker, the more echo and reverberation the microphone(s) picks up, and the louder the reverberation becomes in relation to the source.

  7. 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).

  9. 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 ...
