3 What is Microphone and how it works Types of Microphones Types of Microphones Choosing a Microphone Choosing a Microphone Positioning your Microphone Positioning your Microphone

4 Types of Microphones CCCCondenser microphones RRRRibbon microphones CCCCarbon microphones PPPPiezoelectric microphones LLLLaser microphones LLLLiquid microphones MMMMEMS microphones SSSSpeakers as microphones

5 What is a Microphone A microphone is a device made to capture waves in air, water (hydrophone) or hard material and translate them into an electrical signal.

6 Condenser Microphone Condenser Microphone Condenser microphones span the range from cheap throw-aways to high-fidelity quality instruments. Condenser microphones span the range from cheap throw-aways to high-fidelity quality instruments. They produce  high-quality audio signal  The popular choice in laboratory and studio recording applications.  They require a power source

7 Electrostatic Microphone Dynamic microphones Dynamic microphones Dynamic microphones work via electromagnetic induction. Dynamic microphones work via electromagnetic induction. They are :  robust  relatively inexpensive  resistant to moisture Two basic types: Two basic types:  Moving coil microphone  The ribbon microphone.

8 Choosing a Microphone The first step in choosing the right Microphone for any particular application is to understand the sonic nature of the subject. Factors to Consider ffffrequency range TTTTransient and Spectral Characteristics DDDDynamic Range

9 Positioning of Microphones Recording Vocals: The positioning of Microphones for Vocalist The positioning of Microphones for Vocalist  6 – 8 Inches from the Mic  Too close = large bass response  too far = More room ambience  Most part of the Mic Axis o aim towards the Nose o and Mouth to attain the Fullest Sound

10 Recording Acoustic Guitar Two optimum points for Mic Positioning-  Near the bridge  The twelfth fret placing the Mic in front of the instrument sound hole will usually increases low frequency response

11 Recording the Piano  One of the most challenging instrument to record  The Piano is generally recorded using Close Milking technique. Ideally a minimum of two Mics.

12 Recording Drums 2 optimum points BBBBridge 11112th Fret Sound hole creates Low Frequency Response

13 Thank you for your Time Grab a Mic
