Vintage Microphones Traditional Design And New Technology

When it comes to recording, the microphone is the most important tool. The quality of the sound depends on the microphones you are using. That is why you should be very careful when you buy microphones in order to choose the right one. If you are a nostalgic or you are keen on the traditional look, you should try vintage microphones. Their classic design will remind you of The Beatles and other famous artists of the past century and you will relive the glamour of those days. Although primitive microphones had existed before, the first practical microphone was the carbon microphone, created in October 1876 by Thomas Edison.

 The microphone is actually a transducer, translating sound into an electrical signal. It has many applications, such as telephones, tape recorders, radio and television and even in computers for voice recording. How does it work? Usually the sound translates through a thin membrane that generates a corresponding electrical signal.

The most common means are electromagnetic generation (dynamic microphones), capacitance charge (condenser microphones) or piezoelectric generation, meaning the signal comes from mechanical vibration (piezoelectric microphones). When you buy microphones, consider the fact that your selection is far from being limited.

Depending on the technology used, there are condenser or electrostatic microphones, electret microphones, dynamic microphones, ribbon microphones, carbon microphones, piezoelectric microphones, laser microphones and liquid microphones. Depending on the application-specific pattern, there can be lavalier microphones (for hands-free operations), wireless microphones, contact microphones, throat microphones and parabolic microphones (which use a parabolic reflector to gather and focus sound waves onto a microphone receiver, in a manner resembling that of a parabolic antenna when dealing with radio waves).
