An other word for diaphragm is membrane. A microphone is a device that converts mechanical pressure waves or sound in air into electrical voltage waves. Speaking into a microphone excites (moves) a membrane or diaphragm that is coupled to a device that creates an electrical voltage proportional to the produced sound pressure.

∙ 14y agoTo put it simply the diaphragm is what picks up the sound waves in a microphone. It can be located for example when you open a shure sm 58 by removing the grill. The flat circle top that remains is the diaphragm.

How does a decibel reader detect decibels?
A SPL meter is a sound pressure level meter where a microphone diaphragm is moved by the sound pressure variations and the voltage output of the microphone is shown at a voltmeter. The volts are calibrated to decibels.
How is an ear like a microphone?
The microphone has a diaphragm that is moved by the sound pressure of the sound waves. This sound pressure, measured in pascals, is converted by the microphone to the electric audio wave. Our auditory system has two ear drums that are similar to the microphone's diaphragm that delivers the sound wave to the inner ear. Only sound pressure (pascals) is moving the ear drums. Sound intensity (power) has nothing to do with this.
What do sound waves strike when they reach the head of the microphone?
if I'm right or wrong it might be the diaphragm of the microphone because when you sing into it it hits the small padding and into the wire coil, coming out as a electric current .But as i said before i might be wrong so please correct me if you wish.
What is the diaphragm color?
your diaphragm is a reddish color
What is the initial site for respiration?
diaphragm A+ Tim
What are the three elementsof the wireless microphone system?
The microphone diaphragm where the sound is picked upThe transmitter where the signal is sent from the microphoneAnd the receiver
What is the energy transfer when you use a microphone?
The sound waves cause a diaphragm in the microphone to vibrate. The mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy.
How do you tune a condenser microphone capsule diaphragm?
Like you tune a snare drum.
What part of a microphone converts sound waves into an electrical signal?
The diaphragm
What type of microphone is most similar to a speaker?
A dynamic microphone is most similar to a speaker. They both consist of a diaphragm, a voice coil and a magnet.
What electrical device is a diaphragm found in?
A diaphragm will be found in both a microphone, and a speaker; both being transducers across electrical to air pressure.
In what way is your eardrum like a speaker?
The eardrum is more like a sensing microphone's diaphragm or membrane.
What do eardrums do when sound waves reach them?
The eardrums are like an omnidirectional microphone. The sound pressure vibrates the membrane (diaphragm) of the eardrum and the microphone only from one side.
What is a mic output?
Sound pressure hits a microphone's diaphragm and the microphone converts this acoustic pressure wave to a audio voltage wave. The microphone's output is called sensitivity of the mic.. Scroll down to related links and look at "Microphone sensitivity conversion - transfer factor".
Omnidirectional microphone can be changed into a cardioid microphone by the use of a rear?
Omni directional microphones cannot be changed to cardiod microphones. Even if you drill back holes behind the diaphragm.
What are microphone 421 and what do they do?
This is a large diaphragm dynamic microphone that is used for High Quality recording. It is very well know for recording vocals and brass but is best at recording Toms and Drums.
Whrite a Breif note on moving coil microphone?
A moving-coil microphone contains a diaphragm exposed to sound waves. The diaphragm carries a coil placed in the magnetic field. The voltage induced in the coil is proportional to its amplitude of vibration, which, in turn, depends on the sound pressure.Moving-coil microphone. AP = acoustic pressure, Uo = output voltage, 1 = diaphragm, 2 = coil, 3 = permanent magnet, 4 = protection grid, 5 = case. Cheers ebs
