Microphone techniques
In order to have a good mic technique you’ll need to understand how the microphones diaphragm work’s depending on sensitivity to your vocal performance you’ll need to adjust your body/ or object according to the dynamics of your delivery. In order to have a high quality recording.
Recording drums Some microphones are used for the testing of speakers and checking noise levels etc. These are known as calibrated transducers and will usually be supplied with a certificate stating their sensitivity against different frequency. Microphone calibration techniques. A piston phone is an acoustical sound source using a closed coupler to generate a precise sound pressure for the calibration of the instruments microphones.
Operating principle
Ribbon = in ribbon microphones a thin metal ribbon is suspended in a magnetic field. The ribbon is electrically connected to the microphone's output, and vibrates within the magnetic field to generate the electrical signal.
Dynamic moving coil = In a dynamic microphone a small movable induction coil is positioned in the magnetic field, which is attached to the mics diaphragm. When sound enters through the windscreen of the microphone, the sound wave shakes the diaphragm. The dynamic mic is not as accurate or as sensitive as the condenser mic. So is not as good for a live recording environment like a studio.
Condenser
Voltage runs in between the capacitor and the diaphragm, which moves up and down when vibrations enter the microphone. The distance between the diaphragm and the capacitor is recorded via the electronic charge and is transmitted into electronic sound. Due to condenser mics being very sensitive they’ll break a lot easier, and are most likely to break when dropped, hit etc, unlike the dynamic which can handle numerous blows .
Polar patterns
A polar pattern is a graphical representation of the coverage of a microphone at numerous frequencies.
