What is the Application of measurement of directivity and sensitivity using microphone?

The Application of: Directivity- Microphones are made differently. Some microphones pick up sounds only from directly in front of them. Other microphones are pick up sounds well from all directions. The directivity shows all the various sides and angles from which a microphone can pick up sounds. Sensitivity- The sensitivity of a microphone is the gain at which the microphone can pick up sounds. Microphones with high sensitivity can pick up sounds with high gain.

Do microphones work in the vacuum of space?

No, traditional microphones rely on air particles to transmit sound waves and would not work in the vacuum of space. In space, there is no medium for sound to travel through, so traditional microphones would not pick up any sound. Specialized equipment is needed to capture or transmit sound in the vacuum of space.


Why do you need different types of microphones?

Different types of microphones are needed for different sound sources and recording scenarios. For example, dynamic microphones are durable and suitable for live performances, while condenser microphones are more sensitive and capture more detail, making them great for studio recordings. Each type of microphone has its own unique characteristics that make it best suited for specific needs.


How do you make noise cancellation around a running machine?

Passively, by surrounding it with soft, sound absorbing surfaces like textiles and padding. Actively, you need microphones to pick up the sound of the machine, a processor, amplifier and speakers to generate the same sound but with the phases reversed.
