Axisymmetric Condenser Microphone

Application ID: 12377


This is a model of a condenser microphone with a simple axisymmetric geometry. The model aims to give a precise description of the physical working principles of such a microphone. The condenser microphone is considered to be the microphone with highest quality when performing precise acoustical measurements and with high-fidelity reproduction properties when performing sound recordings. This electro-mechanical acoustic transducer works by transforming the mechanical deformation of a thin membrane (diaphragm) into an AC voltage signal.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
