cycles per second, or hertz
The range of human hearing is 20Hz to 40,000 Hz
True
False
This microphone polar pattern picks up in all directions
Bidrectional
Figure 8
Omnidirectional
Cardioid
We perceive frequency as
(a)
This type of microphone works through electromagnetic induction, and contains both a diaphragm and coil of wire. It is often used in live sound situations.
Dynamic
Condenser
Capacitor
Ribbon
A (a) microphone is best for picking up higher frequencies , and requires extra voltage to work.
The type of interference when two sound waves are in phase with each other and add together.
Destructive
Dynamic
Constructive
180 degrees
XLR cables and TRS cables are examples of these, which work through common mode rejection.
phantom power
balanced cables
unbalanced cables
microphones
This equipment is used to add voltage to microphones, control volume of mix, route signals to monitors or effects, and manipulate the signals with EQ.
A mixer
A speaker
A dante
A crocodile
Where a fader should be set to when setting levels on a microphone.
(a)
Phantom power, if applied to a ribbon microphone, can cause damage to the microphone.
True
False
Higher frequencies have longer wavelengths. This is why high frequencies can travel longer distances.
True
False
Decibel (dB) is a measurement used for defining the amplitude of sound.
True
False
The phenomena that occurs in directional microphones, where low frequencies are enhanced as you move closer to the microphone.
Equal Loudness Curve
Moving Coil
Capacitance
Proximity Effect
Which of the following is a microphone polar pattern?
Condenser
Figure-8 or bidirectional
Ribbon
Auxiliary
On a mixer, what would you use an aux send for?
Independently control signal level to a recording device
Independently control signal level to a stage monitor
Independently control signal level to a reverb
All of the above
Microphones are also known as transducers because they convert one form of (a) into another.
An (a) can be used to cut or boost certain frequencies in your signal.
A type of EQ which alllows you to choose the frequency to cut or boost in your signal
A complex EQ
A nice EQ
A parametric EQ
A parabolic EQ
What is the main type of polar pattern in Dynamic Microphones?
Bidrectional
Omni
Cardioid
Global
When is it a good idea to use an omnidirectional microphone? When is it better to use a directional (cardioid or bidirectional) microphone?
