Calculating Resonant Frequencies

Posted by:

This article continues from the last article, Introduction to Resonance. If you need to review standing waves, nodes, and antinodes, you might want to check out that article first. Otherwise, let’s get right down to business.

How to Find Resonant Frequencies

Remember from the last article that standing waves happen when nodes or antinodes line up with the ends of a rope or pipe. Such standing waves create resonance. The lowest frequency that “fits” on a string or in a space ...

Dynamic Microphones: Are They Right for Me?

Posted by:

Microphones are categorized by the way they transform sound energy into electrical energy. In acoustics terms, the process of changing energy from one type to another is called transduction. In this article we will explore the way a dynamic microphone transducer works and what that might mean for choosing the right microphone for your next project.

How Do They Work?

Some confusion about dynamic microphones exists because of the word dynamic. When dynamic is used to describe microphones, it is not referencing ...
