A velocity microphone is a sensor whose electric output depends on the velocity of the air particles that form a sound wave . Examples are a hot-wire microphone and a ribbon microphone (bi-directional).
Velocity-sensitive microphones also respond much more to wind noise than pressure sensitive microphones (omnis). You get heavy bass tip-up or proximity effect if the sound source is close to the microphone. Cheers ebs

Can sound be converted into electricity?
Think about what happens in a microphone as that's what a microphone does.
How do vibrations pass through microphone?
When sound waves reach a microphone, they cause the microphone diaphragm to vibrate. These vibrations are then converted into electrical signals by the microphone's transducer, typically a coil or capacitor. The electrical signals are then transmitted through the microphone cable to a recording device or amplifier.
What is the starting and finishing energy of a microphone?
A microphone converts sound energy (acoustic energy) into electrical energy. The starting energy is the acoustic energy from the sound waves that enter the microphone and the finishing energy is the electrical signal output by the microphone.
What is the shield placed around a microphone to exclude sound called?
The shield placed around a microphone to exclude sound is called a microphone windscreen or microphone pop filter. It helps to reduce background noise, plosives, and wind interference during audio recordings.
What equipment is needed for a roving microphone to work in a group situation?
To set up a roving microphone for a group situation, you would need a wireless microphone, a receiver to pick up the microphone signal, a sound system to amplify the audio, and a portable speaker if needed. It's also helpful to have a staff member to manage the roving microphone and ensure it is passed around efficiently.
