00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,920
for people like me who have made a living out of the smooth audible

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:10,240
chocolate of their voices microphones have become a tool on

3
00:00:07,879 --> 00:00:13,719
which our variability to put food on our tables is dependent and while your

4
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:17,800
average person might not feel the same way about them and may never set foot

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:21,560
anywhere near a Sound Studio chances are they would still find life a bit more

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:26,960
challenging had the microphone never been invented from those found on

7
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:31,439
telephones to drive-thru menus to the headsets worn by professional Gamers and

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:36,520
air traffic controllers alike these things have become indispensable to all

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:41,399
but the most rugged Mountain folk Among Us so microphones first came into

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:46,600
existence around the year of 600 BC in the form of masks which would carry a

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:51,320
stage performers voice across the expanse of a large Amphitheater simple

12
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:56,280
amplification Remains the general goal behind Soundwave manipulation until a

13
00:00:54,199 --> 00:01:01,800
man in the mid 19th century by the name of Antonio miuchi invented the tetrao

14
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:06,960
let's try that again in English telephone and with that the races were

15
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:11,560
on to see which inventor could innovate and improve this device most

16
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:16,280
successfully now modern microphones or mics tend to fall into one of two major

17
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:22,000
groups depending on what type of audio transducer the device which transforms

18
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:24,280
sound into an electrical signal is used

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,159
the first of these transducer Styles is known as Dynamic and is normally the

20
00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:34,560
type one sees their favorite pop singer using on stage these operate by way of a

21
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:39,079
plastic diaphragm that manipulates a coil located at its rear which has been

22
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:43,360
wrapped around a magnet whenever sound waves cause the diaphragm to undulate

23
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:47,240
the coil is bounced back and forth over the magnet surface with the movements

24
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,920
being registered and transformed into a signal these mics have the advantage of

25
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:57,880
being able to record high volume sources such as directly sung vocals without

26
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:02,719
easily distorting but the magnets which they use also restrict their ability to

27
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:06,840
be shrunk below a certain size this coupled with the needed input strength

28
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:11,440
to move the coil along the magnet leave them wanting sometimes in the

29
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:16,720
Departments of high frequency detail and low volume pickup the second transducer

30
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:21,000
type is referred to as a condenser and it also uses a diaphragm to register

31
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,480
incoming sound waves but instead of bouncing a coil around a magnet the

32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,560
diaphragm is placed adjacently to a powered sensor plate which detects the

33
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:35,080
changing gap between these as it shrinks and grows with stimulation which gives

34
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:39,800
them an advantage in terms of size and sensitivity that makes them ideal for

35
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:42,959
things like phones headsets and small body worn

36
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:48,400
jobbies like the little one that I'm wearing in here they do require a

37
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:53,080
discrete power source for operation where magnet driven designs do not and

38
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,040
also the reduced size between the plate and the diaphragm when compared to the

39
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:01,720
length of the coiled magnet means they tend to top out and distort more easily

40
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:06,959
with loud noises now what kind of transducer a

41
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:11,239
microphone uses doesn't mean a whole lot unless it actually picks up sound from

42
00:03:08,799 --> 00:03:17,239
the intended source and hopefully that only this is where the role of polar or

43
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,040
pickup patterns comes in which determine where the input is received from

44
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:25,519
relative to the microphone's location now there are many pattern styles for

45
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:30,000
different uses but the three basic families consist of omnidirectional

46
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:34,280
which pick up sound in a sphere surrounding the mic equally

47
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,920
unidirectional or cardioid with its pattern looking something like a

48
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:42,560
mushroom head and fading audio that's not directly in front of the microphone

49
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:47,879
and bidirectional which resembles a figure8 and you guessed it goes both

50
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:52,400
ways the noise cancelling feature many microphones use actually operates by

51
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:56,840
directing a pickup away from the intended Source then subtracting

52
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,640
anything it detects from the overall sum of both inputs with more advanced

53
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,959
systems using even more more than two microphones now although microphones

54
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,439
come in any transducer and pickup combination a user could Desire with

55
00:04:07,239 --> 00:04:14,799
many boasting adjustable patterns on the Fly it's important to note that the

56
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:16,840
mixer processor or amplifier not to

57
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:20,199
mention file format types and the and speakers that are used to enjoy the

58
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:25,080
audio play a role in the experience as well and while this may seem like a bit

59
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:29,840
much for those who are uninitiated I can assure you all that it is at least much

60
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:34,680
more simple and convenient a way of communicating than the smoke signals
