What is a Microphone?
The microphone was developed by Emile Berliner in the year 1877. Microphone acts as an input device that is used to convert sound waves into electrical waves. it captures audio by conversion of sound waves into electrical signals which may be analog or digital. This process is implemented by using the latest high definitions and processing computers. Actually, the first microphone is based on the liquid mechanism, here the diaphragm was connected to a current needle which cannot produce clear speech. Besides the type of device microphone is designed for directionality let me give a clear example Omnidirectional microphone picks all sounds in any area but the disadvantage of using this is unable to focus with background noise. Microphones are used to capture sound in various applications such as music, podcasts, videos audio speeches, etc. The microphone is the best invention it makes and saves more energy by delivering speech with a good amount of efficiency.
