Microphone Types Blog Post

 


1. What is the difference between Dynamic and Condenser microphones?

 The dynamic mics use a diaphragm, voice coil, and magnet to pick the sound waves and convert them into an electrical signal. Condenser mics use an electrically-charged diaphragm, which when vibrates, an electrical signal is generated that is proportional to the sound.


2. What is directionality?

 Directionality is a microphone's sensitivity to sound relative to the direction or angle from which the sound arrives. 


3. Why would you use a Lavalier? A  Shotgun? A Handheld Dynamic?

A lavalier microphone or lavalier is a small microphone used for television, theater, and public speaking applications to allow hands-free operation. Shotgun mics are highly directional and ideal for use in noisy environments, such as crowded streets or busy restaurants. Handheld microphones are designed to be held in the hand, but they can also be clipped onto a microphone stand whilst someone sings, gives a speech, plays guitar, etc.

  THE CAMERA-  APERTURE AND IRIS 1. What is aperture? Aperture is the opening of the camera lens through which light passes to enter the camera.  2.  How does it affect exposure? In large aperture, a lot of light passes through the camera lens, resulting in a brighter photograph. In small aperture, very little light enters the camera lens, resulting in a darker photograph. 3. How does it affect depth of field? A large aperture results in large amount of foreground and background blur, creating low depth of field. A small aperture results in small amount of background blur, creating greater depth of field. 4. How do you pick the right aperture for your scene?  The right aperture depends upon how much depth of field and exposure you desire in the picture. 5.
