Microphones 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Microphones are transducers: True or False? | True |
| What are the 2 types of microphones? | Dynamic and Condenser |
| Dynamic Microphones use ________ induction to generate an output signal | electromagnetic induction |
| What are the two types of dynamic microphones? | moving coil and ribbon |
| Condenser microphones use the ________ principle | electroSTATIC |
| Dynamic Microphones are less _________ than Condenser microphones | sensitive |
| Dynamic Microphones are more _______ than condenser microphones | durable |
| Which Mics are cheaper, dynamic or condenser? | dynamic |
| Which mics do you need phantom power for? | Condenser |
| Condenser microphones have a greater ______ and ______ response | frequency, transient |
| In a Dynamic Mic, when a magnet moves past a wire, the magnet... | induces current to flow in the wire |
| Then, the diaphragm moves either magnet or coil when... | sound waves hit the diaphragm, and movement makes a small current |
| In dynamic microphones, amplitude is dependent on | strength of the magnet and turns in the wire |
| In dynamic microphones, frequency is controlled by speed of | the magnet or coil |
| what is the equation involved with dynamic microphones | E=BLV |
| E= | voltage |
| B= | fluxivity of magnet |
| L= | length of the coil |
| V= | velocity |
| The ribbon mic uses a thin metal ribbon placed between the poles of a magnet, and... | generate voltages by electromagnetic induction |
| Ribbon Mics: work by suspending a _____ ____ ___ in a magnetic feild | thin metal foil ribbon |
| Ribbon mics have open air on | 2 sides |
| Ribbon Mics: sound from front and back will activate the ribbon, but... | sound from the sides will not |
| Ribbon mics are ________ (figure 8 pattern) | bi-directional |
| In ribbon mics, frequency response is limited by ______ _______ _______ | fundamental resonance frequency |
| How is the upper limit set in ribbon mics? | by dimensions around magnetic structure |
| Ribbons often have ___ output and need a step up _____ to increase the voltage | low, transformer |
| Capacitor Mics work on _____ microphones | electrostatic |
| The diaphragm in Capacitor mics is one side of a ____ | capacitor |
| A capacitor holds... | an electrical charge |
| The diaphragm of capacitor mics moves with | sound waves |
| Electret mics (type of capacitor mic) have permanent... | electrical charge |
| Electret mics do not need ____ to _____ the capacitor, but need power to run the amplifier (usually a battery) | power, polarize |
