Microphone technology

Microphone technology converts sound waves—vibrations in the air—into electrical signals that can be recorded, amplified, or transmitted. Inside a microphone, a diaphragm vibrates in response to sound. These vibrations move components like a coil or a capacitor, generating electrical signals that mirror the original sound. Different types of microphones (such as dynamic, condenser, and ribbon) use various mechanisms to achieve this, offering different qualities in sensitivity and sound reproduction. Essentially, microphones act as intermediaries, capturing real-world sounds and transforming them into electronic signals for various audio applications.
