microphone

A microphone is a device that captures sound waves, such as voices or music, and converts them into electrical signals. When sound waves hit the microphone’s diaphragm, they cause it to vibrate. These vibrations are then transformed into electrical signals through various internal components. The resulting signals can be amplified, recorded, or transmitted to other devices. Microphones are essential for communication, recording, broadcasting, and live performances, functioning as the bridge between the acoustic world and electronic audio systems. Different types of microphones are designed for specific uses, offering varying sensitivity and directional properties.
