Microphone

A microphone is an electro-acoustic transducer that converts sound waves into an electrical signal, which can then be recorded, amplified, or transmitted. The core principle for every microphone is that sound pressure waves cause a component (a diaphragm, ribbon, or coil) to vibrate, and this mechanical motion is then converted into a corresponding electrical voltage. It is a fundamental component for capturing audio for a variety of purposes, from professional-grade music recording to everyday communication.
