What is a "microphone"?
A microphone is a device that converts sound waves into electrical signals. It captures audio by picking up vibrations from sound and turning them into a signal that can be amplified, recorded, or transmitted. Microphones are used in various settings, such as recording studios, live performances, and communication devices, to capture and transmit sound clearly and accurately. They come in different types and designs, including handheld, lapel, and studio models, each suited to different uses and environments.
