Microphone Types

A dynamic microphone functions using which of the following principles?

• Moving Coil
• Electrostatic
• Electret
• Isolation

A condenser microphone produces a voltage based on the proximity between the counter electrode (back plate) and what? 

• Isolator
• Diaphragm
• Magnet
• Ribbon

Which type of microphone is being described? 
'When the diaphragm vibrates, the coil moves in the magnetic field, producing a varying current in the coil through electromagnetic induction'

• Condensor
• Ribbon
• Dynamic
• Wireless

What type of connector is typically used for a microphone?

• Jack to Jack
• S/PDIF
• XLR
• Bantam

In the term XLR, L = Live and R = Return. What does the X mean?

• Ground
• Electricity
• Not Used
• Xeno

Why is a condenser microphone more accurate than a dynamic? 

• They cost more
• A condenser's diaphragm is lighter
• Phantom power is more responsive than electromagnetism 
• The diaphragm is larger

Which type of microphone is suitable for very high amplitude (very loud)

• Dynamic
• Condensor
• Ribbon
• PZM

Which type of microphone is best for very quiet sounds? 

• Dynamic
• Condensor
• Ribbon
• PZM
