Microphone
Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000753
An acoustic-to-electric transducer that converts sound waves into electrical signals. It operates by sensing pressure variations in the air caused by sound and translating them into corresponding voltage fluctuations. Microphones are used in computing for voice input, video conferencing, audio recording, and speech recognition, connecting via USB, 3.5mm jack, or Bluetooth.
