  2. Sound reinforcement system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_reinforcement_system

    Most microphones used in sound reinforcement are either dynamic or condenser microphones. One type of directional microphone, called cardioid mics, are widely used in live sound, because they reduce pickup from the side and rear, helping to avoid unwanted feedback from the stage monitor system .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shure_SM57

    The microphone kit (two SM57 microphones, windscreens, microphone stands, and black right-angle XLR cables) is referred to as the VIP/high-profile microphone kit. The SM57 is a popular choice of musicians due to its sturdy construction and ability to work well with instruments that produce high sound pressure levels , such as percussion ...

  6. Microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone

    The dynamic microphone (also known as the moving-coil microphone) works via electromagnetic induction. They are robust, relatively inexpensive and resistant to moisture. This, coupled with their potentially high gain before feedback, makes them popular for on-stage use. Dynamic microphones use the same dynamic principle as in a loudspeaker ...

  7. Electret microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electret_microphone

    An electret microphone is a microphone whose diaphragm forms a capacitor (historically-termed a condenser) that incorporates an electret. The electret's permanent electric dipole provides a constant charge Q on the capacitor.

    Two examples of different boundary mics (top) and a diagram of the elements of a boundary microphone. The diagram shows the location of the mic capsule, the plate, the aperture, and the pressure zone. In 1978, audio engineers Ed Long and Ron Wickersham studied the effects of the boundary layer in sound recording.
