Consdenser Microphones

Question 1

Commonly used studio mics, using a ? with two places to capture sound, causing the vibration of the diaphragm, forming one plate of a capacitor. When the diaphragm vibrates, it changes the distance between plates, causing a change in capacitance, converting sound into an electric signal. The signal’s sent through an ? converter to make signal more useable.

Answer 1

Capacitor.

Impedance.

Question 2

They’re very sensitive because the diaphragm doesn’t need to move a heavy coil, requiring a source of power provided through a battery or ? ?

Answer 2

Phantom power.
