    Summary

    ### Summary

    • Mixed Signals episode discusses various microphone types, their characteristics, and functionalities.
    • Microphones convert sound waves into electrical signals through transducers.
    • Dynamic microphones use electromagnetic induction for audio signal conversion; condenser and ribbon mics also exist.
    • Condenser microphones require external power and offer superior sound quality compared to dynamic mics.

    Highlights

    • Dynamic Microphone: Low sensitivity, doesn’t pick up background sounds, reacts well to loud sounds.
    • Condenser Microphone: Uses metal plates as a capacitor, needs external power (active), has a loudness threshold.
    • Phantom Power: Sends 48V electrical signal to condenser microphones.
    • Max Sound Pressure Level (Max SPL): Threshold above which signal starts to distort in condenser mics.

    Key Takeaways

    • Condenser and ribbon mics are more fragile and expensive than dynamic microphones.
    • Dynamics and condensers are the two most common microphone types.
    • Ribbon mics are thin and fragile, while shotgun mics are highly directional and used in film/TV.
