AAERT CDR CERTIFIED DIGITAL
REPORTER TEST PAPER QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS VERIFIED ANSWERS
●● omnidirectional
Answer: -all directions
-equal from all directions
-Multiple voices , one microphone
-more speakers than available recording channels
-switches allow for pu pattern change
condenser
-capsules can also be changed to switch Pu pattern
●● Dynamic Microphone
Answer: -moving coil
-diaphragm, coil, magnet-
-diaphragm = flat plate @ The front of The Microphone
-Bulky
-energy-> diaphragm - > coil moves back & forth over magnet-
electrical signal travels through wires w/ in mic - > digital mixer
●● Condenser Microphone
,Answer: -front Plate(diaphragm) , back plate & 48 v Power Source
-front & back plate = capacitor
-Assisted by electrical source
-wider assortment of shapes & sizes
- gooseneck Mic
-Low-profile boundary mic
-Lavalier Mic
-energy hits the front plate of the capacitor- > distance between plates
changes - > gap is electronically charged by phantom power
●● Low-profile boundary microphone
Answer: -lay flat
-inch or two thick
-lots of ambient noise & gets covered easily
●● Lavalier
Answer: -extremely small condenser mic &attaches directly to speaker
- no opp to place Mic in front of Speaker
- wired & wireless
Away have spare batteries
●● Gooseneck Microphone
, Answer: -solid base & long flexible neck w/ a narrow condenser that
extends towards the speaker
-toggle on and off
●● XLR connectors
Answer: -the most common microphone connectors
-referred to as microphone cables
-male (3 pins) and female end(3 holes)
●● Digital Mixer
Answer: -device that take a signal through a cable to a computer
-referred to as audio interfaces
●● Mixer Input Types
Answer: -DR interested in Microphone Input
-Usually XLR Connection but can also be a TSR input
●● Mixer Output Types
Answer: -use either USB or FIREWIRE (IEEE 1394)
●● endo-
Answer: root word meaning WITHIN/INSIDE
