Study Notes
How Dynamic Microphones Work
- A current is produced in the microphone, proportional to the sound signal
- The microphone consists of a fixed magnet at the center, surrounded by a coil of wire that is free to move
- Pressure variations in sound waves cause the coil to move, inducing a current in the coil due to the magnetic field
- The induced current is sent to a loudspeaker
How Loudspeakers Work
- The setup of a loudspeaker is identical to a microphone, but works in reverse
- The current flows into the coil, interacting with the magnetic field from the magnet
- The interaction between the two magnetic fields causes the coil to move
- The movement of the coil causes the cone to move, producing pressure variations that create sound
