The Difference Between Array Microphone and Microphone

1. What is a microphone?

A microphone is a device that converts sound waves into electrical signals. It can amplify, record or transmit sound. Due to its different functions, there are many types of microphones.

2. What is an array microphone?

An array microphone is a special microphone that can achieve more accurate audio recording or capture through a combination of multiple microphone elements. By aiming different microphone elements at different sound sources, array microphones can improve the accuracy of recorded audio and reduce the impact of noise, thereby obtaining higher quality audio.

3. The difference between array microphones and ordinary microphones

Compared with ordinary microphones, array microphones have the following differences:

■ The composition of array microphones. Array microphones are composed of multiple microphone elements, which are arranged in a specific layout to capture sound signals from different positions, thereby improving the accuracy of audio recording.

■ Accurate sound positioning capability. Thanks to its adjustable layout design, array microphones can accurately capture and locate specific sound sources. Whether it is music recording or video conferencing scenarios, array microphones can provide excellent audio quality.

■ Wide coverage area. Array microphones have a wider coverage area due to their multi-position sound capture characteristics and can record audio information from multiple sound sources at the same time.
