A To Z Of Microphones
The age of science has befallen, and has gradually transformed human life for the better. Various inventions and discoveries have changed the way we live, and many new ones are going to redefine our lifestyle in the near future. Amongst all such inventions, one finds a special mention – the microphone. Since the first inception in the year 1876 by Emile Berliner, microphones have become one of the most important instruments of communication in modern world. Most of the modern communication and electronic devices are incomplete without the presence of microphones, like hearing aids, telephones, mobile phones, megaphones, karaoke systems etc. It finds excessive application in fields of motion picture production, FRS radio and television broadcast, sound and acoustic engineering and VoIP. By using the modern methods of electromagnetic induction, coupled with piezoelectric generation, capacitance change, and light modulation, the importance of microphones has spread far and wide across the globe.
Technically speaking, a mic, as microphones are colloquially termed, is actually a transducer, which is capable of changing information and signals from one form to another. In case of mics, analog sound signals are converted into patterns of electronic signals or current, which are then transmitted to a mixer or a preamp with the help of wires. Different types of microphones are available in the market, catering to the requirement of various users. Mics can be categorized into dynamic, tube, USB and condenser microphones. Amongst these, dynamic and condenser mics are generally used in live and studio setups, and are the widely used ones. Large scale recording around the world is carried on by using these two variants of microphones.
While manufacturing or producing microphones, one has to be very cautious about the specification that your device should possess. In fact, you need to first understand the area of application of your mics. You would not want to use a condenser mic in a concert environment, or set up dynamic mics for a home recording. That's when parameters like sensitivity, overload characteristics, linearity (also known as distortion), frequency response, noise, and microphone levels needs to be considered.
Different sub-types of mics have different pick up patterns. Many people have the misconception that microphones are able to accumulate signals only from sources that are linearly pointed at them. But a sound engineer would beg to differ. Mics have different pick up patterns like omni, bi-directional, and cardioids. Depending upon the situation, environment and atmosphere, mics are set up to pick up analog sound signals. There are also various accessories which can help in increasing the efficiency of your microphone, like mic clips and shockmounts, which can hold the mic the right way.

If you are looking for the best microphones in the market Swamp.net.au has a huge range for you to choose from.
Where can i find a 2mm thick metal tube.....?
and two wires that i can put inside of the tube? yes i know it's small, but still. I need this to attach a small mic to, so it needs the two wires.
2mm thick? Or 2mm diameter?
A model/hobby shop will stock small-diameter copper and brass tubes, but generally only a foot long.
The thermostats used on refrigerators usually have a much longer copper tube on them, connecting the temperature dial to the sensor.
