Different Types and Characteristics of Microphones
In the world of microphones, understanding the transducer/element type, directional characteristics, and frequency response is crucial. Dynamic, condenser, and ribbon are the main transducer types, each with unique qualities and applications. Directional characteristics like cardioid, bi-directional, and omnidirectional affect how sound is captured and isolated. Explore the nuances of microphone technology to make informed choices for your recording needs.

Transmission-Line Theory We need transmission-line theory whenever the length of a line is significant compared to a wavelength. L 2
Transmission Line 2 conductors: c1=signal, c2=ground 4 per-unit-length parameters: C= capacitance/length [F/m] z L= inductance/length [H/m] R= resistance/length [ /m] G= conductance/length [ /m or S/m] 3

(We only need to work with the current on the top conductor, since we have chosen to put all of the series elements there.) 4
