A moving coil or ribbon microphone, in which the movement of the diaphragm (with its attached coil of very fine wire) or ribbon through the field of a permanent magnet induces a varying output voltage. This voltage is sent to the recording console. Works like a dynamic loudspeaker in reverse. (WW)

Type of microphone - and the simplest. Can be likened to a loudspeaker in that dynamic microphones operate principally in reverse. The sound pressure entering the microphone moves a diaphragm, which causes electrical energy to be produced. Very popular for its robustness and reliability under physical extremes.

Microphone which works through a diaphragm being attached to a coil which operates within a strong magnetic field. The diaphragm vibrates in response to soundwaves, which, in turn stimulates motion of the coil. The magnetic field causes an electric current to flow through the coil, with a voltage which varies in sympathy with the motion of the diap...
