PSW Staff 03/09/09 07:50 AM, 0 CommentsThe new Sennheiser MO 2000 optical microphone offers a new type of transducer that processes acoustic signals on the basis of variations in light intensity, making it well suited for applications where other microphones are only partly (or not at all) effective. “By implementing the optical principle, both the microphone head and the electronics can be located far away from each other,” noted David McNutt, industry team manager-installed sound. “And to insure functionality in demanding environments the microphone head is… View this story

Kennedy Department of Justice Building in Washington. D.C. Because the building is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places as part of the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site, no part of the… View this story

PSW Staff 05/01/08 12:08 PM, 0 CommentsVariable polar patterns can actually be good for several things. Before we go into them, we should probably briefly discuss what the main polar patterns are. The three “main” polar patterns are cardioid (or unidirectional), figure-eight (or bidirectional), and omnidirectional. In a nutshell a cardioid microphone picks up sound from the “front” only. A figure-eight microphone picks up sound from the front and rear of the microphone. An omnidirectional microphone picks up sound from all around. There are also a… View this story
