Computer technology is increasingly becoming part of our daily lives, and various devices make it more vibrant and full of joyful events. For example, many people cannot imagine their life without a microphone. Today, this device is actively used not only by professional musicians or radio hosts, but also ordinary citizens. A microphone is simply necessary for communicating with friends on the Internet, recording voice, singing in karaoke, etc.
There are a lot of types of devices, but most often a dynamic or condenser microphone is used. The second is used in recording studios by professional singers or presenters at radio stations.
A condenser microphone is good because it has high sensitivity and is able to transmit all shades of voice, but has a significant drawback - it captures all extraneous noise.
Many people choose a dynamic microphone. Firstly, it is relatively inexpensive, has a wide price range, so it is suitable for consumers with different income levels. Secondly, the device has a reliable design, it is not afraid of shock and numerous drops, the main thing is not to damage the membrane, and then the dynamic microphone will perfectly transmit sound. Thirdly, it works great with loud sounds, so it is actively used to voice voice and music in front of a huge audience over a long distance. Such a microphone is not afraid of changes in temperature and humidity, so it is very practical.
A dynamic microphone consists of a voice coil, diaphragm and magnet. These three parts with sound drive form a small electric generator. The membrane in this device is made of plastic,
sound waves get on it
, and the diaphragm oscillates from this. A voice coil made of wire is located behind the membrane and oscillates with it from the sound. In turn, a small magnet creates a magnetic field. From the movement of the voice coil, an electric signal is created in it, exactly transmitting the sound that was sent to the dynamic microphone.
Since the microphone is used not only by professional singers to perform on stage, but also by ordinary users, questions often arise how to connect it to a computer. There is nothing complicated in this, you just need to follow certain recommendations.
So, to connect a dynamic microphone to a computer, you need to purchase an adapter with a large jack at the input and a small at the output. Then you need to plug a microphone into this adapter, and insert the device itself into the connector on
the pink
sound card . To control the driver, go to the “Sound, Speech and Audio Devices” section through the control panel, but usually the desired icon is in the tray.
In the context menu, you need to select "Audio Settings", for this, right-click on the speaker icon in the tray. Going to the “Audio” tab, select “Sound Recording” to set the desired volume of the device. After that, the microphone is completely ready for use. Done!
