A transducer which trasforms acoustical energy into mechanical energy, and then electrical energy. A device that changes sounds into tiny voltages that can then be amplified, modified, recorded, etc. see condensor; cardioid; dynamic; hypercardioid; omnidirectional; ribbon microphone; supercardioid
an electromechanical transducer that converts sound pressure into an electrical signal. Condenser mics require power to charge a capacitor used to sense changes in sound pressure levels (SPL).
A transducer used for converting acoustic, sound pressure energy into electrical energy. See Input Devices for more information.
It is an instrument which transforms sound waves into the changes in electric currents or voltage, used in transmitting sound and recording.
the component of a hearing aid that transduces, or changes, acoustic (sound) signals into electric signals.

A microphone is a transducer that changes acoustical energy (sound) into electrical energy.
A device that converts sound pressure variations into electrical signals.
That component of a hearing aid which collects sound from the outside world as acoustic energy and sends it on to be processed.

Device that converts sound waves into electrical energy.
is a device that converts sound waves into audio signals.
A device for converting sound waves into electrical current.
Any device that converts mechanical energy (sound) into electrical energy (sound-signal). Over the years hundreds of types have been developed for a myriad of specific uses. The three basic types are dynamic, condenser, and ribbon. Each of these comes in a variety of pick-up patterns as well; directional, omni-directional, cardioid, hypercardioid, boundary, and figure-eight.
A device that converts sound waves into electrical signals. To record sound on your PC, you need a microphone to convert sound to electrical signals
an instrument that converts sound waves into electrical energy
A device that allows you to record voice messages.
An instrument that converts sound into electricity for the purpose of transmitting or recording (as in radio, TV or tape recording).
Device for converting sound waves to an electrical signal. Microphones come in many forms for many different applications (recording, studio, PA etc.) and types (hand held, headworn etc.) also with a fixed cable or wireless with a radio transmitter. The most common type for PA live vocals must be robust, good at rejecting feedback & have a frequency response tailored to the vocal range.
Device for converting sound into electrical pulses which can then be amplified or recorded onto tape. Signals from a microphone are very low level and are amplified in the mixing desk to line level. See Dynamic Mic, Condenser Mic, Phantom Power, Pick-up, Radio Mic.
An audio device used to create electronic signals out of sound vibrations. A microphone is a transducer, or quite simply, an energy converter.
An instrument that is used to change voice waves into electrical pulses and on to an amplifier.
A device which provides a way to talk into the computer, or to record with.
Converts sound to an electrical signal.
Electroacoustic transducer that converts sound energy into electric energy.
An electroacoustic device that turns the acoustic signals that come in contact with it into electrical signals for recording. Its behavior is just the opposite of that of a loudspeaker.

A microphone, sometimes referred to as a mike or mic (both IPA pronunciation: ), is an acoustic to electric transducer that converts sound into an electrical signal. Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones, tape recorders, hearing aids, motion picture production, live and recorded audio engineering, in radio and television broadcasting and in computers for recording voice, VoIP, and furthermore for non-acoustic purposes like ultrasonic checking.
