  2. Microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone

    The dynamic microphone (also known as the moving-coil microphone) works via electromagnetic induction. They are robust, relatively inexpensive and resistant to moisture. This, coupled with their potentially high gain before feedback, makes them popular for on-stage use. Dynamic microphones use the same dynamic principle as in a loudspeaker ...

  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. 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 ...

  5. Audio signal flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_signal_flow

    Here, the still-mic-level signal enters into a microphone preamplifier, which boosts the signal voltage to line level. For this example, the microphone preamplifier is built into a mixing board. It is typical for a mixing board to include a line trim after the preamplifier. This allows the amplitude of the now line-level signal to be adjusted.

  6. Electro-Voice RE20 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-Voice_RE20

    The Electro-Voice RE20 is an American professional cardioid dynamic microphone, commonly used in broadcasting applications since 1968. Designed by Electro-Voice using the company's patented Variable-D technology and a large-diaphragm element, it has been described as an industry standard "iconic" microphone for its natural sound and its wide ...

  7. Noise-canceling microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-canceling_microphone

    The microphone's diaphragm is placed between the two ports; sound arriving from an ambient sound field reaches both ports more or less equally. Sound that's much closer to the front port than to the rear will make more of a pressure gradient between the front and back of the diaphragm, causing it to move more.

  8. Electret microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electret_microphone

    An electret film is applied to the back plate of the microphone capsule and the diaphragm is made of an uncharged material, which may be mechanically more suitable for the transducer design being realized. Front electret This design features no back plate, and the capacitor is formed by the diaphragm and the inside surface of the capsule.
