MICROPHONES
Microphones measure sound pressure. Inside a Knowles microphone is a thin flexible diaphragm, an electrically
charged plate, and an amplifier (Fig. 1). The output voltage is proportional to changes in the small separation
between the diaphragm and the charged plate (Fig. 2).
As sound pressure inside the front cavity increases, the diaphragm is pushed closer to the plate. As the
pressure decreases, it moves further away. The motion of the diaphragm produces a small electrical signal that
is amplified by a miniature circuit inside the microphone.
The sensitivity of a typical Knowles’ microphone is measured in units of dB relative to 1 Volt per 0.1 Pascal.
