13 Carbon Microphone Marco Bodnár 9.

13 For many years, a design of microphone has involved the use of carbon granules. Varying pressure on the granules produced by incident sound waves produces an electrical output signal. Investigate the components of such a device and determine its characteristics. Task 2

13 Basic scheme 3

13 Basic scheme and principle Resistance decreases Current is dynamic Voltage drop across resistor is dynamic 4

13 Factory assembled microphone 5

13 Microphone base Elastic membrane Cover Chamber Carbon powder Covering membrane 6

13 MICROPHONE IS PASSIVE - WITHOUT VOLTAGE APPLIED – NO VOLTAGE CHANGE CAN BE MEASURED Voltage is needed Dynamic resistanceDynamic voltage, current Measureable 7

13  Radius – change in frequency characteristics  Weight – as light as possible  Elasticity Membrane 8

13 Why carbon powder?  Bad conductor (in comparison with metals) - sensitivity of microphone - ideally no added substances  Stable - does not change structure with temperature or other conditions* *to a certain extent Very high sensitivity (of its resistivity) to pressure change 9

13  Protect inner parts of microphone (not necessary for correct functioning) Covers Front foil – protects from dirt Back cover – protects from mechanical damage 10

13  Hole in diaphragm used for pressure equalisation Hole in diaphragm Without hole – overpressure inside the microphone – diaphragm bulks out With hole – equal pressure inside the microphone and outside– diaphragm remains same 11

13 Now that we know how it works… …we will try to make our own. 12

13 Flexible membrane Conducting pistons Voltage source Switch Resistor Chamber 13

Membrane Chamber Resistor Voltage source 14

13 Home made record Home made R=5000Ω Further measurements with factory assembled microphone only. Home made 15

13 Apparatus 16 Sound analysis Sound production Loudness meter

13 Frequency response at 94 dB 17 Resonant frequencies of mechanical parts Does the hole has an effect on the frequency response?

13 Frequency response at 94 dB - hole effect 18

13 Frequency response at 94 dB - hole effect 19

13 Frequency response at 94 dB - hole effect 20

13 Frequency response at 94 dB - hole effect 21 There is no hole effect

13 Frequency response at 94 dB - hole effect 22 Low frequencies (speech) - Low sensitivity - Low quality of recording?

13 Hi, how are you…? Speech record Factory made microphone 23 Actually, not that bad !

13 Frequency response at 94 dB - hole effect 24 Let’s record these frequencies - song

13 Song record Factory assembled R=100Ω Song has significantly worse quality How is it possible? Factory made Wide range of frequencies possibly irregular input from microphone – different amplitude response Let’s investigate amplitude dependence of microphone 25

13 Static amplitude dependence 26 Turning screw increases pressure Conductivity vs. pressure measurement

13 27 Static amplitude dependence Response is non-linear Let’s look at the amplitude characteristics

13 Amplitude response characteristics 28 Slope 1 The slope is different than 1 for log-log graph – non-linear characteristics 100Hz

13 Amplitude response characteristics Hz

13 Amplitude response characteristics 30 y = 1,375x - 165,16 440Hz Slope 1

13 Amplitude response characteristics Hz y = 1,7228x - 208,05 Slope 1

13 Amplitude response characteristics Hz y = 0,6554x - 83,392 Slope 1

13 Comparison for different frequencies dB – frequency response measurement Each frequency -Different sensitivity (relative loudness) -Different slope (change in relative loudness) Not very optimistic - For ideal microphone should be one curve

13 Why is sound distorted? Speech – narrow range of frequencies - sound card will adapt its sensitivity Song – wide frequency span – great variation in relative loudness – sound card unable to adapt its sensitivity 34 Microphone can be used only to narrow range of frequencies (speech) – due to its non- linearity

13 Directional pattern L=94dB f=3200Hz 10° 35 Relative axes 0 = -60 dB (relative loudness)

13 Explained the principle Investigated components of microphone Our own microphone Characteristics of microphone Frequency response Investigated the ‘hole’ effect Amplitude response - Narrow range Direction Conclusion 36 Thank you for your attention

13 Membrane Chamber with carbon grains Resistor Voltage source 41

13 Hi, how are you…? Factory made Home made 42 Factory records speech better – small range of frequencies – what about song?

13 Comparison Home made R=5000Ω Factory assembled R=100Ω The record of the song with factory made has similar ‘quality’ as with home made – as predicted by its characteristics Home made Factory made 43
