  microphone
       
           Any electromechanical device designed to
          convert sound into an electrical signal.
       
          A microphone converts an acoustic waveform consisting of
          alternating high and low air pressure travelling through the
          air into a voltage.  To do this it uses some kind of pressure
          or movement sensor.  The simplest kind of microphone is
          actually very similar in construction to a loudspeaker.
       
          The analogue electrical signal can be fed into a computer's
          sound card where it is amplified and sampled to convert it
          into a digital waveform for storage or transmission.

  microphone \mi"cro*phone\ (m[imac]"kr[-o]*f[=o]n), n. [Micro- +
     Gr. fwnh` sound, voice: cf. F. microphone.] (Physics)
     An instrument for converting sounds into electrical signals,
     for the purpose of recording or amplifying the sounds. It
     produces its effects in various ways, as for example by the
     changes of intensity in an electric current, occasioned by
     the variations in the contact resistance of conducting
     bodies, especially of imperfect conductors, under the action
     of acoustic vibrations. Other forms of microphone may use
     changes in capacitance or other phenomena to transduce the
     sounds into electrical signals.
  
     Note: The electrical signals produced in a microphone may be
           transmitted to recording or amplifying equipment
           through a conducting wire, or by transmission as radio
           waves. The latter method is popular for use in small
           mobile microphones used by performers in plays and
           other entertainment events, at public meetings, and by
           broadcast personnel.

  Microphone \Mi"cro*phone\, n. [Micro- + Gr. ? sound, voice: cf.
     F. microphone.] (Physics)
     An instrument for intensifying and making audible very feeble
     sounds. It produces its effects by the changes of intensity
     in an electric current, occasioned by the variations in the
     contact resistance of conducting bodies, especially of
     imperfect conductors, under the action of acoustic
     vibrations.
