Introduction to Microphones

101 Audio Microphones

Description

Microphones are one of the most important tools in live sound and recording. Without them, we have no way of capturing the sounds we hear. Learn how microphones work and what components they’re comprised of in this video.
 
Key Points:
  • Transduction is the conversion of acoustic energy to electric energy, and vice versa.
  • Transducers are devices that perform this conversion — like all mics and speakers.
  • Microphones aren’t magic wands. Even with a great source, you have to keep mic selection, room design, and room performance in mind.

Pro Tip:
Microphones are the paint brushes in audio engineering. Don't be afraid to get creative when choosing, placing, and treating microphones.

Key Terms:
Transduction: The conversion of one form of energy to another.
