25. What is the function of a microphone?

26. Converts sound into an electrical signal.

27. Microphone transducers The component of a microphone that converts sound into an electrical signal.

28. Dynamic Transducer (No Battery) A mic whose sound pickup device consists of a diaphragm that is attached to a movable coil. As the diaphragm vibrates with the air pressure from the sound, the coil moves within a magnetic field, generating an electric current. Dynamic microphones work via electromagnetic induction.electromagnetic induction They are robust, relatively inexpensive and resistant to moisture. This, coupled with their potentially high gain before feedback, makesgain before feedback them ideal for on-stage use.

29. Microphone with Condenser Transducer (Battery) A mic whose diaphragm consists of a condenser plate that vibrates with the sound pressure against another fixed condenser plate. Also called an electret or capacitor microphone.

30. Microphone with a Ribbon Condenser A mic whose sound pickup device consists of a ribbon that vibrates with the sound pressure within a magnetic field. This is the most fragile and thus, the most sensitive of all microphones.

31. What is the most common microphone pickup pattern?

32. Cardioid means "heart-shaped", from the Greek root word "cardi". A cardioid pickup pattern means pickup to the front of the microphone, and to a lesser extent the sides, with good rejection of sound to the back of the microphone. Cardioid

33. If you only had one microphone to use for a round table discussion, which pick-up pattern would you use? If you only had one microphone to use for a round table discussion, which pick-up pattern would you use?

34. Omni-Directional Omni-Directional (All Directional) (All Directional) An omnidirectional microphone picks up sound equally 360 degrees around the microphone capsule.

35. What microphone would be best at picking up audio in two different directions? What microphone would be best at picking up audio in two different directions?

36. Bi-Directional- Sound coming from two directions. Bi-Directional- Sound coming from two directions.

37. What type of pick-up pattern would you use to pick up sounds better from the front than from the sides or back?

38. Unidirectional- Pickup pattern in which the microphone can pick up sounds better from the front than from the sides or back.

39. Most camera have a built in microphone which contains what type up pick-up pattern?

40. Cardioid pattern

41. What type of microphone would be best in long distance recording?

42. Shotgun/Boom microphone ** These microphones have a hyper-cardioid microphone. This is similar to cardioid but with a tighter area of front sensitivity and a smaller lobe of rear sensitivity.

43. Name the microphone that can be pinned onto your talent during an interview? Name the microphone that can be pinned onto your talent during an interview?

44. Lavaliere Microphone Lavaliere Microphone Talk normally when wearing this.

45. Name the type of microphone that is handled by the performer with the ability to talk with anyone in the audience?

46. Hand (stick)

47. What is the purpose of the “pop filter”? What is the purpose of the “pop filter”?

48. Filters out or eliminates sudden air blasts when people speak or sing into a microphone. Filters out or eliminates sudden air blasts when people speak or sing into a microphone.

49. What is the function of a windscreen?

50. Acoustic foam rubber put over a microphone to cut down wind noise.

51. What is a wind sock?

52. A wind screen made from synthetic material and resembles more a mop than a wind screen.

59. What does the mic/line inputs do on an audio mixer?

60. Allows for the switching of a microphone or an audio output from a source such as a VCR or other audio recorder.

61. What is the purpose of mic/line faders?

62. Sound-volume control that works by sliding a button along a specific scale.

63. What device on an audio mixer measures the relative loudness volume units of sound?

64. VU meter
