The Application of:

Directivity- Microphones are made differently. Some microphones pick up sounds only from directly in front of them. Other microphones are pick up sounds well from all directions. The directivity shows all the various sides and angles from which a microphone can pick up sounds.

Sensitivity- The sensitivity of a microphone is the gain at which the microphone can pick up sounds. Microphones with high sensitivity can pick up sounds with high gain.

How do you obtain the directivity curve of the microphone?

Go in always the same distance with a loudspeaker and a pure tone arround the microphone and measure the microphone's output. You get a damping curve which is the directivity curve.

What is Audio Sensitivity?

A cheap microphone will have less sensitivity than a studio condenser microphone.


What is sensitivity?

The ability of an organism, or part of an organism, to detect changes in the environment is termed as sensitivity. What is microphone sensitivity? A microphone sensitivity specification tells how much electrical output in millivolts a microphone produces for a certain sound pressure input in dB SPL. If two microphones are subject to the same sound pressure level and one puts out a stronger signal (higher voltage), that microphone is said to have higher sensitivity.


What is a mic output?

Sound pressure hits a microphone's diaphragm and the microphone converts this acoustic pressure wave to a audio voltage wave. The microphone's output is called sensitivity of the mic.. Scroll down to related links and look at "Microphone sensitivity conversion - transfer factor".


Can you Describe the performance of a microphone?

A microphone captures sound waves and converts them into electrical signals. The performance of a microphone is typically evaluated based on its frequency response, sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, and directionality. A high-performance microphone will accurately reproduce sound with clarity and minimal distortion.


What is the limitations of a microphone?

Some limitations of a microphone include sensitivity to background noise, distortion at high volume levels, and directionality in capturing sound. Additionally, the frequency response of a microphone may not capture a full range of audio frequencies accurately.


What year was the patent application for the carbon microphone filed?

Both Emile Berliner and Thomas Edison applied for patents on the carbon microphone in 1877.


Can a moving coil loud speaker be used as a moving coil microphone?

Yes, but with vey low sensitivity and poor frequency response.


What are the key features to consider when choosing a professional condenser microphone?

When choosing a professional condenser microphone, consider key features like frequency response, sensitivity, polar pattern, self-noise level, and durability. These factors can affect the microphone's performance and suitability for different recording situations.


Is it possible to use a moving coil loudspeaker instead of a moving coil microphone?

Yes, but the sensitivity and frequency response will be very poor. The diaphragm on a microphone, corresponding to the voice coil and cone on a speaker, is extraordinarily light and compliant.
