Characteristics of Microphones
Other Types (according to Sound-generating Systems)
CARBON Microphone• oldest and simplest microphone that uses carbon dust. • the technology used in the first telephones and is still used in some telephones today. • The carbon dust has a thin metal or plastic diaphragm on one side. As sound waves hit the diaphragm, they compress the carbon dust, which changes its resistance. By running a current through the carbon, the changing resistance changes the amount of current that flows.

Other Types (according to Sound-generating Systems)
FIBER OPTIC Microphone
• fiber optic microphones can be extremely small, and they can be used in electrically sensitive environments. • They can also be produced with no metal, which makes them very useful in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications and other situations where radio frequency interference is an issue.

Characteristics of Microphones
Other Types (according to Sound-generating Systems)
LIQUID Microphone
• invented by Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson • a precursor to what would later become the condenser microphone • used a metal cup filled with water and sulfuric acid. A diaphragm was placed over the cup with a needle on the receiving side of the diaphragm. Sound waves would cause the needle to move in the water. A small electrical current ran to the needle, which was modulated by sound vibrations. • The liquid microphone was never a particularly functional device, but it makes a great science experiment

Characteristics of Microphones
Other Types (according to Sound-generating Systems)
ELECTRET Microphone
• most widely used microphones on Earth • cheap and relatively simple, electret mics are used in cell phones, computers and hands-free headsets • a type of condenser microphone in which the external charge is replaced with an electret material, which by definition is in a permanent state of electric polarization

Characteristics of Microphones
Other Types (according to Sound-generating Systems)
LASER Microphone
• works by capturing vibrations off of a plane, like a windowpane, for example, and transmitting the signal back to a photo detector, which converts the reflected laser beam into an audio signal.
