The most common are the dynamic microphone, which uses a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field; the condenser microphone, which uses the vibrating diaphragm as a capacitor plate; and the contact microphone, which uses a crystal of piezoelectric material. Microphones typically need ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
