1.1 Introduction
The microphones (mic or mike in short) and the speakers are very common audio equipment. The work of a microphone and a speaker are opposite of each other. A microphone converts sound vibrations into electrical entity (voltage/current) while a speaker converts the voltage/ current into sound vibrations by moving the diaphragm of the speaker and producing vibrations in the air. Basically a microphone has a diaphragm which moves when sound pressure pushes it. This movement can be converted into proportional voltage using several possible transducers. Here, a transducer is a device which receives electrical, mechanical or acoustic waves from one medium and converts them into related waves for a similar or different medium.
