Methods of audio recording - ANSWER: Analog and digital
Microphone - ANSWER: Converts acoustical energy that is sound into electrical signal
that can be delivered to either an analog or digital device
Path of digital audio - ANSWER: To change the analog signal to a digital signal it will
need to pass through an analog to digital
converter (digital mixer or A/D converter)
Sample rate - ANSWER: Number of samples taken each second when recording
sound. (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, et cetera)
Bit rate - ANSWER: the number of bits transferred or received per unit of time
(usually 16 or 24 bits)
Low sampling rate - ANSWER: Approximation
High sampling rate - ANSWER: Smooth
Digital mixer or A/D converter - ANSWER: The digital mixer, or A/D converter, will
output the signal through one of a variety of connections such as USB, FireWire (IEEE
1394), serial, local computer bus, or Ethernet.
Dynamic Microphone - ANSWER: (Moving coil) - made up of diaphragm, a coil, and a
magnet. As acoustical energy hits against the diaphragm, which is a flat plate at the
front of the microphone, it causes the coil that is attached to it to move back and
forth over the top of the magnet. The movement of the coil over top of the magnet
creates an electrical signal which travels through the wires within the microphone
and eventually reaches your digital mixer or A/D converter.
Condenser Microphone - ANSWER: Consists of a front plate (diaphragm), back plate,
and a 48-volt power source. The front and back plate together create a capacitor.
When acoustical energy hits the front plate of the capacitor, the distance between
the front and back plate changes. The gap between these two plates is electrically
charged. This charge is created by either an internal battery source or an external
power source referred to as phantom power.
Should you use microphones with batteries? - ANSWER: No. If a battery would die
during use, you could have a gap in your recording, and you would need to interrupt
the event you are reporting to fix this problem.
, Digital mixers and A/D converters act as - ANSWER: Phantom power source for
condenser microphones
Biggest difference between dynamic and condenser microphones - ANSWER: The
way by which acoustical energy is transformed into electrical energy, one assisted by
an electrical source and the other by a magnet. Both are capable of facilitating a
quality audio recording and are recommended for use in the field of digital reporting.
Pickup pattern - ANSWER: Set path in which a microphone will intercept sound
Cardioid pickup pattern - ANSWER: Unidirectional - heart-shaped pattern which
reaches out from the diaphragm of a microphone. Beneficial for single voice located
in front of mic while rejecting additional ambient room sound from behind the mic
and lower sensitivity on the sides
Omnidirectional pickup pattern - ANSWER: Intercepts sound from all directions from
its placement, meaning it captures sound equally from all directions. Beneficial for
capturing multiple voices using only one microphone or when you have more
speakers than available recording channels. Use carefully to avoid noisy recordings
or voices covering one another if speaking simultaneously.
Dynamic Microphone - ANSWER: Very good for spoken word in a very controlled
environment. Not designed for long-range pickup or varying pickup patterns
Condenser Microphone - ANSWER: Offer more flexibility and lighter-weight
products, but comes with more responsibility on reporter for understanding how to
adjust for different environments.
Gooseneck Microphone - ANSWER: Has a solid base which rests on a desk or table.
From the base, a long flexible neck with a narrow condenser microphone attached to
the end extends out towards the speaker. Oftentimes has a button that can toggle
the microphone on and off to keep confidential conversations from appearing on the
record.
Low profile boundary Microphone - ANSWER: Lay flat on desk or table and are
commonly no more than an inch or two thick. have a solid base which rests on a
desk or table. This type of mic tends to pick up a lot of ambient noise and parties
tend to place papers on top of them.
Lavalier Microphone - ANSWER: Extremely small condenser mic that attaches
directly to the speaker. These mics are useful when the environment does not offer
an opportunity to place a microphone in front of a speaker. Also effective in a
courtroom environment where attorneys tend to wander from place to place. Can be
both wired and wireless. These microphones require the use of batteries. Therefore,
always have spare batteries on hand.
