a microphone

Definition of a microphone in English English dictionary: mike; mic
microphone: To put one or more [[#Noun|microphones]] on or in
microphone: A device (transducer) used to convert sound waves into a varying electric current; normally fed into an amplifier and either recorded or broadcast
garden of microphones, which stuck up like metal flowers in her face.
microphone: an apparatus for magnifying faint sounds
microphone: {n} an instrument to increase small sounds
Microphone: mic
microphone: A device that converts acoustic or sound energy into electrical energy
microphone: An instrument that converts sound waves into an electric current, usually fed into an amplifier, a recorder, or a broadcast transmitter
microphone: A transducer device that converts air pressure waves into electrical signals
microphone: The apparatus affixed to the radio which converts sound waves to electrical impulses
microphone: an electromechanical transducer that converts sound pressure into an electrical signal Condenser mics require power to charge a capacitor used to sense changes in sound pressure levels (SPL)
microphone: is an input device that captures live sounds such as your voice or perhaps a dog barking
microphone: An instrument for intensifying and making audible very feeble sounds
microphone: A device for converting sound waves into electrical current
microphone: It produces its effects by the changes of intensity in an electric current, occasioned by the variations in the contact resistance of conducting bodies, especially of imperfect conductors, under the action of acoustic vibrations
microphone: A device used to convert sound waves to electrical signals
microphone: {i} device which converts sound waves into electronic signals for recording and amplification or broadcast
microphone: a device that allows you to record sounds as input to your computer
microphone: device for converting sound waves into electrical energy
microphone: A device that converts sound waves into electrical signals To record sound on your PC, you need a microphone to convert sound to electrical signals
microphone: A device that converts sound waves into audio signals
microphone: An instrument which converts a relatively small dynamic pressure change into an electrical signal See transducer
microphone: A microphone is a device that is used to make sounds louder or to record them on a tape recorder. Device for converting sound waves into electric power that has wave characteristics essentially similar to those of the sound. By proper design, a microphone may be given directional characteristics so that it will pick up sound primarily from a single direction, from two directions, or more or less uniformly from all directions. In addition to their use in telephone transmitters, microphones are most widely applied in hearing aids, sound-recording systems (principally magnetic and digital tape recorders), dictating machines, and public-address systems
microphone: A device that converts power in the form of sound waves into electrical power This can be directional or nondirectional, flat frequency response or contoured, fixed or mobile, condenser or dynamic or one of many other types, wired or wireless, high or low impedance, with or without preamp, etc
microphone: A transducer which converts sound pressure waves into electrical signals
microphone: A device that transduces air vibrations into corresponding electrical signals
microphone: A transducer for converting acoustic energy to electrical energy
microphone: the part of the hearing aid that picks up sounds
microphone: Device for converting sound into electrical pulses which can then be amplified or recorded onto tape Signals from a microphone are very low level and are amplified in the mixing desk to line level See Dynamic Mic, Condenser Mic, Phantom Power, Pick-up, Radio Mic
