  1. Microphone Physical Design and Placement

  2. Microphones • A microphone is also classified by how it is physically designed, and subsequently how it is placed.

  3. Handheld Mic’s • §The talker holds the microphone, allowing him or her to roam around while speaking.

  4. Handheld Mic • §As microphones can be sensitive to handling noise, many mounting options offer "shock" and vibration isolation.

  5. Hand Held Mic • §It can be mounted to a stand near the talker.

  6. Hand Held Mic • §It can be suspended in front of them using a "boom pole."

  7. Lavalier • §It is also called a lav, lapel mic, or a clip-on microphone • §Small, lightweight microphones attached under the chin of the talker.

  8. Clip-On Mic • §It is attached to the talker's clothing, under the chin, in such a manner that it will not move and produce rustling noises.

  9. Clip-On Mic • § It is very common in television, film, and stage production because they are easy to conceal on a costume or even a wig.

  10. Surface Mount • §It is also called a boundary microphone. • §It is placed on a table to pick up sound.

  11. Surface Mount • §Not to be confused with a table mic (a handheld microphone on a stand, which is prone to pick up both direct sound from the source and reflected sound off of the table).

  12. Surface Mount • §These microphones are often used in boardrooms and other environments where a number of talkers must be "picked up" and where the microphone needs to remain unobtrusive.

  13. Surface Mount • §You can purchase models of this microphone that be installed directly into furniture.

  14. Headset §It is a hands-free microphone, typically designed to be worn as a headband or wrapped behind the ear.

  15. Shotgun Microphone • §They must be "aimed" at the sound source. • §It has a long, slotted tube designed to reject unwanted sound and pick up a talker or sound source from many feet or meters away.

  16. Shotgun Microphone • §These mics can either be handled by an audio technician who makes sure they are pointed in the right direction or mounted on a boom pole.

  17. Shotgun Microphone • § It is used when you must pick up sound and cannot get the microphone close to the talker, like at a press conference.
