What types of microphones are there?
2025-04-14
Microphones are also known as mic capsules, mic heads, transducers, sound pickups, and sound heads, etc. As we all know, the main function of a transducer is to convert sound into electricity; it is a key component of a sound system. So, what types of transducers are there? Regarding the current types of transducers, I have found six ways to classify mic capsules; the specific classification content is shown in the table below:
| Transducer (Mic Capsule, Mic Head) Types | ||||
| Classification Method | Classification Type | |||
| Classification by Transduction Principle | Amplitude Type | Capacitive Type | Carbon Granule Type | Velocity Type |
| Classification by Sound Wave Reception Method | Pressure Type | Pressure Gradient Type | / | / |
| Classification by Directivity | Unidirectional | Bidirectional | Omnidirectional | / |
| Classification by Working Principle | Dynamic Type | Capacitive Type | Piezoelectric Type | Boundary Type |
| Classification by Application | Broadcast and Conference | Stage Performance | Live Recording | Professional Measurement |
| Classification by Channel | Mono | Stereo | Surround Sound | / |
