Electronic engineering
close-talk microphone
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A microphone that must be placed close to the mouth. Such a microphone is less susceptible to background noises than an ordinary microphone, and is useful in environments where the ambient noise ...
bidirectional microphone
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A microphone that picks up sound waves equally well from the front and rear.
directional microphone
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A microphone that strongly favors sound emanating from in front of it.
ceramic microphone
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A microphone that uses a ceramic piezoelement to convert sound waves into electrical impulses.
crystal microphone
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A microphone whose transducer is a natural or synthetic piezoelectric crystal. Sound waves striking the crystal (directly or via a diaphragm) vary its shape, making it produce an audio-frequency (AF) ...
cardioid microphone
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A microphone with a (roughly) heart-shaped sound-field pickup pattern.
artificial ear
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A microphone-type sensor, equivalent to the human ear, used to measure sound pressures.
