Answer 4

A Transducer

Question 5

How does it work in a studio setting?

Answer 5

sound-pressure waves (the medium) act on the mic’s diaphragm and are converted into corresponding electrical voltages. The electrical signal from the microphone can then be amplified (not a process of transduction because the medium stays in its electrical form) and fed to a recording device. The recorder is a device that changes electrical voltages into analogous magnetic flux signals on magnetic tape or into representative digital data that can be encoded onto tape, hard disk or other type of disc. On playback, the stored magnetic signals or digital data are converted back to their original electrical form, amplified and then fed to a speaker system.

Analog to digital converter converts electical to a numeric value
