The sound pressure moves the human ear drums and also the diaphragms of the microphones. A sound wave is transformed by the microphone to an electric voltage wave, which is amplified by a microphone pre-amplifier.
Loudness N is measured in in sones.Loudness level LN is measured in in phons.Sound pressure level is measured in dBSPL, where the reference level of 0 dBSPL is the threshold of hearing.The ear drums and the microphones are only sensitve to the sound pressure.We measure the sound pressure with a sound level meter.Loudness is affected by sound pressure, frequency and its bandwidth, and duration (time).Usually sound is measured in Decibels.
Sound is collected by microphones, which are devices that convert sound waves into electrical signals that can be processed, stored, and reproduced. Microphones can come in various types, such as dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones, each with its own characteristics suited for different applications.
By microphones, amplifiers and loudspeakers.
Omni-directional microphones are meant to pick up sound from any direction at any time. Unidirectional microphones pick up sound from only one direction.

A Microphone
A Microphone does not output sound. It accepts sound. It is an input device.
Microphones will convert sound waves into electrical signals. An ear (i..e human ear) will also convert sound waves into electrical signals.
CB microphones are generally more powerful than regular microphones. CB microphones are designed to only pick up sound from a certain direction where regular microphones may pick up unwanted background noise.
