Microphones – the general classification • Pressure mics – the electrical response is caused by variations in pressure of actuating sound wave • Velocity mics – the electrical response corresponds to particle velocity resulting from the propagation of sound wave through acoustic medium the difference in pressure between two points in space pressure gradient • Pressure-velocity mics – a combination of the above
Microphones • Pressure microphones • carbon mics • condenser mics • piezoelectric mics • moving conductor mics (dynamic – moving coil)
Microphones • Velocity mics • ribbon dynamic mics (with both sides of membrane actuated by the sound wave) • condenser mics (with both sides of membrane actuated by the sound wave)
Microphones – kind of transducer • Dynamic microphones (moving coil, ribbon) • Condenser microphones („real” condenser, electret)
Sensitivity of microphone • Sensitivity in free field • Sensitivity in diffused field • Pressure sensitivity
Other parameters • Output impedance • Frequency response • Directivity (polar pattern) • Noise level
