MICROPHONE

A microphone is a type of transducer that converts acoustic energies (sound waves)


into electrical signals. Microphone is a tool to help human communication. Microphones
are used in many devices such as telephones, recording devices, hearing aids, and
radio and television broadcasts.

The function of the microphone is as an audio instrument or component used to record


audio signals, whether vocal, acoustic instruments, or whatever is the source of sound.

James West and Gerhard Sessler also played a big role in the development of
microphones. They patented their findings as an electric microphone in 1964.

A typical of microphone consist of handheld microphone is sturdy and easy to use ideal
for passing around to students for reading aloud, reports, even team teaching. and there
are anti-rolling guard band, emitting diodes, diaphragm, and a switch.

how the microphone works (microphone) briefly: When we speak, our voice will form
sound waves and head to the microphone. In the microphone, the sound waves will hit
the diaphragm (diaphragm) which consists of a very thin plastic membrane. The
diaphragm will vibrate according to the sound waves it receives. A coil or coil of wire
(Voice Coil) located on the back of the diaphragm will vibrate according to the
diaphragm vibration. A small permanent magnet that is surrounded by a coil or coil will
create a magnetic field along with the coil movement. The movement of Voice Coil in
the Magnetic Field will cause an electrical signal. The resulting electrical signal then
flows into an amplifier or amplifier.
