a type of dynamic microphone that uses a thin electrically conducting ribbon placed between the poles of a magnet

A ribbon microphone is a type of dynamic microphone that uses a thin electrically conducting ribbon placed between the poles of a magnet.

dynamic microphones

Ribbon mics are dynamic microphones because they feature moving conductors.

a type of dynamic microphone that captures a sound often described as bright or brittle, yet still warm

A ribbon microphone is a type of dynamic microphone that captures a sound often described as bright or brittle, yet still warm.

a thin metal ribbon suspended in a magnetic field

The microphone receives sound waves and either vibrates a thin membrane called a diaphragm (a dynamic microphone) or a thin metal ribbon suspended in a magnetic field (a ribbon microphone).

a variation on the dynamic mic in which a thin, corrugated strip of aluminum is suspended between two poles of a strong magnet

A ribbon microphone is a variation on the dynamic mic in which a thin, corrugated strip of aluminum is suspended between two poles of a strong magnet.

as the velocity microphone

The ribbon microphone is also known as the velocity microphone.

a special type of dynamic microphone that uses a narrow strip of foil instead of a separate membrane and coil

A ribbon microphone is a special type of dynamic microphone that uses a narrow strip of foil instead of a separate membrane and coil, so that the ribbon itself is moving inside the magnetic gap.

One other kind of microphone

One other kind of microphone is the ribbon microphone.

a special type of dynamic microphone, which has thin corrugated ribbon as the diaphragm

Ribbon microphone is a special type of dynamic microphone, which has thin corrugated ribbon as the diaphragm.

dynamic microphones - only, they are high-resolution dynamic microphones

Ribbon microphones really are dynamic microphones - only, they are high-resolution dynamic microphones.

a kind of velocity microphone which reacts to the velocity of air molecules by going through the velocity rather than the sound pressure level

The ribbon microphone is a kind of velocity microphone which reacts to the velocity of air molecules by going through the velocity rather than the sound pressure level.

just another form of dynamic microphone

The ribbon mic is actually just another form of dynamic microphone.

more of a dynamic microphone in that a dynamic microphone uses a magnetic field to generate electrical signals

A ribbon microphone is more of a dynamic microphone in that a dynamic microphone uses a magnetic field to generate electrical signals.

bidirectional microphone

Ribbon microphones are the quintessential bidirectional microphone, as the ribbon can only move forwards or backward.

an electrically simple design with no active circuitry

The ribbon microphone is an electrically simple design with no active circuitry; no active circuitry is possible to build one from a kit, or with basic tools and materials.

A microphone in which the diaphragm is a ribbon

A microphone in which the diaphragm is a ribbon.

the most sensitive out of all types of microphone

The ribbon microphone is the most sensitive out of all types of microphone and this is why The ribbon microphone is named the “ribbon” microphone.

Noise

Noise Cancelling Ribbon Microphone (lip mic) is of British Broadcasting (BBC) design and used for reproducing high quality commentary speech from noisy surroundings by cancelling out a considerable degree of background noise.

a big magnet and a piece of corrugated tin foil

A ribbon microphone is basically a big magnet and a piece of corrugated tin foil.

A ribbon microphone's name from the corrugated metallic ribbon, which is suspended between two poles of a permanent magnet

A ribbon microphone derives A ribbon microphone's name from the corrugated metallic ribbon, which is suspended between two poles of a permanent magnet.
