COMPUTER MICROPHONE

It is a device that is used to transform sound waves into electrical energy and vice
versa in sound recording and reproduction processes; It essentially consists of a
diaphragm intermittently attracted by an electromagnet , which, when vibrating,
modifies the current transmitted by the different pressures to a circuit. A
microphone works as an electroacoustic transducer or sensor and converts sound
( sound waves ) into an electrical signal to increase its intensity, transmit it and
record it. Microphones have multiple applications in different fields such as
telephony , 1 science , health , 2 sound transmission in concerts and public events,
sound transmission in mass media such as audiovisual productions ( film and
television ), radio , production in professional audio live and recording, sound
engineering development, voice recognition and VoIP .

MICROPHONE OPERATION

 The microphone is an electroacoustic transducer.


 Its function is to transform (translate) the
vibrations due to the acoustic pressure
exerted on its capsule by sound waves
into electrical energy or to record
sounds from any place or element.
 It is a transducer that transforms
electricity into sound or vice versa.
 Sound or acoustic pressure is the
product of the sound propagation itself.
The energy caused by sound waves
generates a wave movement of air
particles, causing alternating variations
in the static pressure of the air (small
variations in atmospheric pressure).
Teleconferences

Teleconferencing used to be conducted solely over the phone, but with services
like Skype, many teleconferences are done with a computer and a microphone. As
an added benefit, computer teleconferencing can save your business a lot of
money if you're contacting people from other countries.

Videoconferences

While video conferencing requires a webcam, many of these have a built-in


microphone. Video conferencing gives you the ability to hear and see other
participants in real time.

Dictation

By using a microphone and dictation software, documents can be typed without


using your hands. Many versions of Microsoft Windows and other operating
systems have speech recognition programs preinstalled, but there are also
commercial programs available, such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking, produced by
Nuance.

Conversation in game sessions

Many multiplayer online games allow conversation between players. This can give
a more competitive and lively feel to the game, and can provide the exchange of
information and commands for those playing as a team.

music recording

Computers are frequently used in the music industry today to record and mix audio
tracks. With the right setup, including high-quality microphones, relatively
inexpensive music production can be done from the comfort of your home or
band's rehearsal space.
