4 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Microphones

5 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Microphones Types: Dynamic or Condenser Omni-directional Uni-directional

6 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Microphones: Dynamic Two examples of dynamic microphones manufactured by Shure

7 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Dynamic Microphones Versatile and ideal for general-purpose use. Use a simple design with few moving parts. Sturdy and resilient to rough handling. Better suited to handling high volume levels, such as from certain musical instruments or amplifiers. No internal amplifier and do not require batteries or external power.

8 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Microphones: Condenser Example of a condenser microphone manufactured by Behringer

9 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Condenser Microphones Condenser microphones require power from a battery or external source (Phantom Power). Audio signal is stronger signal than that from a dynamic. More sensitive and responsive than dynamics Good for capturing subtle nuances in a sound Typically used for recording vocals in a studio setting

10 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Condenser microphone shown in anti-vibration cradle

11 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Microphones: Directional OmniCardioidHypercardioid Bi Some microphones provide for adjustable directional qualities - e.g. video cameras

12 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Microphones: Pop Filter Pop filters reduce the effect of vocals which produce breathe sounds from some words as ‘ pops ’ into the microphone

15 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Monitors Speakers and Connectivity

16 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Genolec Monitor Speakers

17 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Monitor Speakers Room acoustics very important Reference or ‘monitor’ speakers - tell it like it is’ i.e. give no coloration from hardware eq. Speakers ar either ‘nearfield’ or ‘farfieild’ Nearfield are designed to sit near the listener at ear level or slightly above allowing listening without too much additional room sound Farfield speakers are much bigger and more powerful speakers designed to be driven at higher volumes and to sit some way or behind the mixing desk. Headphones - can be accurate way to monitor sound quality - but speakers considered best sound monitoring device

18 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Headphones

19 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Monitor Headphones (closed-back) Closed-back design gives much less ambience to wearer and thus more acoustic isolation. Typically heavier than open-back design.

20 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Monitor Headphones (open- back) Open-back design gives sense of external ambience to wearer and less acoustic isolation. Typically lighter than open-back design. Not recommended for voice-over recordings as headphone audio may ‘spill’ into microphone vocal recording.

32 Theme : Multimedia Sound ProductionMultimedia Studio UFCFY5-30-1 Acoustic Considerations The acoustic characteristics of a room can be detrimental to recording quality. Acoustic panels are used to absorb standing waves and other echoes. Standing waves are created between two parallel facing walls. There will be a set of frequencies that are reinforced by the distance between the walls causing pressure fronts to accumulate. Absorption material has a dispersive affect on the sound wave - the materials surface would be angular - as show in picture at the top right. Surface reflections
