what is the difference between a small diaphragm and a large diaphragm microphone?

A rule of thumb is that a large diaphragm — or capsule membrane — is one inch or more in diameter. A small diaphragm means it is half-inch or less in diameter. In reality, many small diaphragm condenser microphones for audio recording use slightly larger capsules.

Also known as a unidirectional or cardioid microphone, directional mics pick up sound from a specific area. Directional mics are designed to minimize unwanted background noise and has the highest pickup sound from the front, unlike omnidirectional mics which capture audio in every direction.

Because of the differences that RD identified, MIDI files are incredibly small compared to MP3 files. Arguably, MIDI files are just another form of lossy compression, although it is rather extreme.

The Maono brand of microphones are extremely good. These microphones have such a high build quality and feel so premium. They take into account thing like making them matte black versus a black metal to help avoid finger prints.

Answer has 6 votes. The difference between a large cantata and a small oratorio is hard to determine, but normally a cantata uses smaller, more various forces, attempts to fill a smaller dramatic canvas, and admits a much wider latitude in form.

Put simply, condenser microphones have active electronics that need an external power source, while dynamic mics are passive and therefore do not need phantom power. Because of the way condenser mics work, their output is very high impedance, and therefore requires a powered circuit to reduce that impedance.

The boundary microphone uses the varying pressure at a boundary between the air and a hard surface caused by a sound wave as the basis of its operation. It is found that when a sound wave arrives at a boundary like a wall or other obstacle, a pressure maximum occurs along with a velocity minimum.

Though big-block engines are significantly larger than their small-block brethren, the true difference between these two is more about displacement, bore, and stroke than strictly size. Typically, big-block engines have displacements of greater than 400 cubic inches and small block engines have a smaller displacement.

Line in will usually be stereo and about 10Kohm impedance. Mic in is mono and about 600-1Kohm impedance and expecting SIGNIFICANTLY lower levels than the line, as it has a preamp to pick up the very low levels present in a microphone. A microphone input is typically a very low level signal, and is mono.

The real difference between high- and low-Z microphone cable types is the number of wires inside the cable. High-Z cables use two-conductor cables (positive and ground), and low-Z cables use three-conductor cables (positive, neutral and ground).

Condensers can't be used on quite as many sound sources as dynamics. ... Many condenser mics have switches that change their patterns between: Unidirectional (or cardioid), which you saw above… Bidirectional, which picks up sound from the front AND the back, while canceling out sounds on the sides…

The most noticeable difference is the shape of the cylinder, which is where the pistons are located. In a single-stage pump, both pistons are the same size so both sides of the cylinder have the same physical dimensions. In a two-stage pump, there is one low pressure (large) piston and one high pressure (small) piston.

The only difference (besides the size) is that you have to put water in the mini each time you make a cup of coffee. The larger ones have a reservoir that holds extra water.

While it's not necessarily a difference in technology, another big difference is the environment the speakers are designed for. For example, car speakers are designed specifically for cars, and so are smaller and less powerful, whereas home speakers are able to be bigger and service a variety of room sizes.

This type of microphone converts pressure fluctuations into electrical current. These microphones work by means of the principle known as Faraday's Law. The principle states that when an electrical conductor is moved through a magnetic field, an electrical current is induced within the conductor.

Condenser Diaphragm- This diaphragm controls the amount of light entering the lens system. This feature is useful for viewing unstained biological specimens that are translucent. Reducing the amount of light improves contrast, making the specimen "stand out" against the background.
