AUDIO COMPONENTS <LA>
GTSAID: MICROPHONE TERMINOLOGY
1. Connector Gender
/M = Male pin(s).
/F = Female socket(s).
2. Connector Type
A Phone Plug is ¼"
diameter x 1¼" long with various tip configurations for
monaural, stereo, or firm-locking (flat). {Based on telephone
manual switchboard interconnect plugs.}
A Phono Plug (also called RCA) is 1/8" diameter x 1" long with surrounding ground collar. {A small, lightweight connector originally designed
for personal audio components.}
An XLR Plug contains 3 recessed
triangular-mounted pins. {A protected encased connector originally
designed to permit use with either balanced
or unbalanced mic connections.}
3. Impedance
("Z" = Resistance: the microphone output must "match" the mixer or
amplifier input connection to permit transmission of a strong,
clear signal.)
Low-Z = usually 600 ohms.
High-Z = usually 50,000 (50K) ohms.
4. Directionality (The size and shape of the "cone" of sound to which the face or head of the mic is most responsive.)
Omnidirectional = broad area
coverage. For shorter distance and/or wider spread sound "pickup"; for
example, single mic interviews or vocal trio.
Unidirectional (Cardioid) = 1
primary pickup direction; e.g., to separate a solo voice from a backup
chorus or instruments.
Line (Shotgun) = a narrow cone
for more diistant, limited arc pickup; e.g., overhead mic'ing of a
choral section (right, center, left).
5. Also,
Phantom Powered = a mic requiring
a voltage source (usually 48 volts from a mixer, separate power
supply, or batteries) for increased
signal output.
Wireless = a battery powered
cable-less transmitting microphone allowing complete movement freedom.
Requires a frequency mated receiver.
