1.INTRODUCTION
•
A Microphone is a transducer that converts acoustic
energy to electrical energy.
• When choosing the optimum microphone, the
parameters to look at include the type of response
field, dynamic response, frequency response,
polarization type, sensitivity required, & temperature
range.

The Frequency response should be as flat as
possible over the frequency range.
The electrical output should be as high as possible.
The self generated electrical noise is called the
equivalent acoustic noise.
The directivity pattern should not vary with freq.
A Microphone should be mechanically robust.
A Microphone must not be too expensive.
The Electrical output should be high as possible so
that audio signal produced by the microphone is
high.

(1)Dynamic (moving coil) Microphone
The Principle of Operation:
The Moving Coil microphone uses the principle of
electromagnetic induction.
When a coil placed in the magnetic field is moved with sound
pressure variations, there is a change of magnetic flux through
the coil. This change is magnetic flux induces an emf.
e=dflux/dt=B*change of area per second
= B*length of conductor*distance
Thus ,the copper wire coil moves in the magnetic field a voltage
as given by,
V=B/v

The microphone consist of a permanent magnet, a diaphragm
and a coil.
Construction:
As shown in figure, the magnet is a permanent magnet with a
central pole piece[B] & the peripheral north piece[A].The gap
between the pole piece gives a uniform magnetic field. The
coil is a thin fine aluminum wire with 10 to 20 turns.

Advantages:
These are inexpensive and resistant to moisture.
• This coupled with their high gain.
• They are suited for the close making of Bass & Guitar speaker
& Drum kits.
•
Disadvantages:
•
•
A single dynamic does not respond to all audio frequencies.
Combining the multiple signals correctly is difficult & designs
that do this are rare & tend to be expensive.

(2) Ribbon (velocity)Microphone
Principle of Working:
The Ribbon Microphone is called as the pressure gradient
microphone because driving mechanical force is proportional to
the difference of the pressure acting on two sides of the
conductor. It can also be said as Velocity Microphone.
Construction:
Ribbon microphone use a thin, metal
ribbon which is mounted between
the poles of a permanent magnet.
Ribbon or corrugated aluminum,
typically 2.5 cm long, 0.6cm wide and
0.00006cm thick.
1
Advantages:
•
•
•
Good response
Does not need external bias
Figure of 8 response is ideal for stereo recording
Disadvantages:
•
•
This conductor is very delicate, so it damaged easily.
This microphone is delicate so cannot be blown into for
checking.

(3) Carbon Microphone
Principle of Working:
The resistance of the carbon granules changes when they are
subjected to the pressure variations.
A double button carbon microphone has a push pull action that
cancel second harmonics.
Construction:
This type of
microphone was
used in telephones.
A single button
carbon microphone
as a telephone
transmitter as shown

Advantages:
It is cheap.
It gives high output.
For many years this microphone was used in telephones.
Disadvantages:
There is a considerable background noise called “carbon hiss”
that cannot be eliminated.
The carbon granules can get damaged & even fused together.
Frequency response is not good.

(4) Condenser(Capacitor) Microphone
Principle of Working:
A Condenser Microphone operates on a capacitive design.
The cartridge from the condenser microphone utilizes basic
transduction principles and will transform the sound pressure
to capacitance variations, which are then converted to an
electrical voltage.
The voltage between the capacitor plates is
V=Q/C
V=Q/EA/d
=QD/EA since Q, A & E are constant
We get,V=Kd where K=constant
1
Construction:
It consist of a stretched aluminum diaphragm suspended
above a fixed metal back plate as shown in figure.
By taking a small thin diaphragm & stretching it a small
distance away from a stationary metal plate called a “back
plate”

Advantages:
•
•
The absence of a high bias voltage permits the use of a
diaphragm with looser tension.
lower electrical impedance .
Disadvantages:
DC biased microphones cannot be used in damp conditions
as it can contaminate insulating surfaces.
