What is a Transducer |
A device that converts one type of energy to another |
|
|
|
What type of polar pattern is Uni-directional? |
Cardoid |
|
|
|
What type of polar pattern is bi-directional? |
Figure-8 |
|
|
|
What type of polar pattern is omni-directional? |
Boundary |
|
|
|
What is the Proximity Effect? And how would you fix it? |
It's a phenomenon that happens with most directional mics, when a mic is placed within 12in(1ft) of a sound source, the bass response INCREASES. To fix look for a freq. roll off switch on directional mics to compensate. |

|
What are the Stereo Microphone Techniques |
X-Y Blumlein NOS ORTF M-S (Mid-Side) Spaced Omni Binaural Head |
|
|
|
What is the XY Stereo Technique |
Simple Stereo technique, offering excellent mono-compatibility, with some Stereo imagine. Angle between mic elements = 90 Distance between mic elements = as close as physically possible Uses two cardioid mics |
|
|
|
What is Blumlein Stereo Technique |
Similar to XY, but uses two Figure-8 mics Angle between mic elements = 90 Distance between mic elements = as close as physically possible. |
|
|
|
What is the NOS Stereo Technique |
Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (Holland Radio) Angle between mic elements = 90 Distance between mic elements = 30cm (11.81in) |

|
|
What is M-S Stereo Technique (hint has pic) |
M-S = Mid-Side Uses cardioid (M), one figure-8 (S) Angle between mic elements = 90 Distance between mic elements = as close as possible Excellent mono compatibility, since you'll be left with the middle mic signal |
|
|
|
What is ORTF Stereo Technique |
Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision (Radio France) Angle between mic elements = 110 Distance between mic elements = 17cm (6.7in) |
|

|
What is a Mic Preamp |
A device used to amplify the voltage taken from a microphone to a higher more usable level. |
|
|
|
What impedance is better |
Low impedance is better than high impedance. |
|
|
|
What is impedance? |
An electronics term which measures the amount of opposition a device has to an AC current (such as an audio signal) |
|
|
|
Do Microphones always need an XLR connector style cable? |
No? |
|
