  • TITLE: microphone (electroacoustic device)
    ...displacement of the diaphragm may cause variations in the resistance of a carbon contact (carbon microphone), in electrostatic capacitance (condenser microphone), in the motion of a coil (dynamic microphone) or conductor (ribbon microphone) in a magnetic field, or in the twisting or bending of a piezoelectric crystal (crystal microphone). In each case, motion of the diaphragm produces...
  • TITLE: electromechanical transducer (instrument)
    SECTION: Types of transducers
    Most microphones use either an electromagnetic or an electrostatic technique to convert sound waves into electrical signals. The dynamic microphone is constructed with a small magnet that oscillates inside a coil attached to the diaphragm. When a sound wave causes the diaphragm of the microphone to vibrate, the relative motion of the magnet and coil creates an electrical signal by magnetic...
