Technical
This is an exampole of a ribbon microphone, In a ribbon microphone an electrically conductive ribbon[e.g. a metal foil] is suspended in the magnetic field permanent magent. As teh ribbon vibrates in resonse to sound waves, voltage in the circuit varies in proportion to the velocity of the ribbon. Ribbon microphones have a high sensitivity and smooth frequency response over a broad range of frequencies. They also have a bidirectional, or figure -8 pickup patter, being sensitive to sounds from side, top and bottom. These features make ribbon microphones well suited for use in recording, broadcast and film studios.
