Across
  1. 2. A directional mic with a narrower and longer pick-up pattern than a cardioid mic.
  2. 5. A type of mic that is costly, high-quality, and can tolerate long cable lengths.
  3. 7. A term that describes how well a mic hears sounds from various directions.
  4. 10. The piece of equipment that picks up sounds in the air and sends them to the mixer or recorder.
  5. 16. A circuit found on most consumer video cameras that controls the audio level during the recording process.
  6. 18. A very rugged type of mic that has good sound reproduction ability. The generating element is a diaphragm that vibrates a small coil that is housed in a magnetic field.
  7. 19. A high-pitched squeal that occurs when a microphone picks up the sound coming from a speaker that is carrying that microphone’s signal.
  8. 21. A directional mic with a narrower pick-up pattern than a hypercardioid mic.
  9. 26. A thin surface inside the mic that vibrates when hit by sound waves in the air and creates an electrical signal.
  10. 28. The level of audio that comes from a microphone. It is designed to be sent to the “mic in” on a recorder or mixer.
  11. 29. A pole that is held over the set with a microphone attached to the end of the pole.
  12. 30. A mic that is designed to be held in the hand, rather than placed on a boom or clipped to clothing.
  13. 32. A piece of equipment that combines only the microphone signals into a single sound signal.
  14. 33. Environmental sound that enhances a story and is important to the shot.
  15. 34. A directional mic with an extremely narrow pick-up pattern.
  16. 35. The audio level from the output on an amplifier to the speaker.
  17. 36. A barrier made of shaped wire covered with a piece of nylon that is placed between a sensitive mic and the talent to avoid damage to the diaphragm of the mic.
Down
  1. 1. mixer A piece of equipment that takes the sounds from a variety of sources, such as mics, a CD player, or tape player, and combines them into a single sound signal that is sent to the recorder.
  2. 3. A knob or a slider control that regulates the strength of a signal.
  3. 4. A type of mic that requires an external power supply (usually a battery) to operate. The generating element is a thin piece of metal foil or coated film. Also called an electret condenser mic.
  4. 6. A mic that uses a short cable to connect the mic to a radio transmitter with an antenna, or the transmitter may be built into the mic itself. The transmitter wirelessly sends the signal to the receiver, which sends the mic signal through a short cable to the recorder.
  5. 8. Program narration provided by talent that is heard, but not seen by the viewer.
  6. 9. A mic with a pick-up pattern that captures sound from primarily one direction. Also called a uni-directional mic or directional mic.
  7. 11. Type of environmental sound that is not the focus of or most important sound in a shot.
  8. 12. A mic with a pick-up pattern that captures sound from nearly every direction equally well.
  9. 13. mic A very sensitive mic that looks like a satellite dish with handles and is designed to pick up sounds at a distance.
  10. 14. A type of mic that is typically inexpensive, low-quality, and cannot tolerate cable lengths longer than 8′.
  11. 15. The most sensitive type of mic used in television. A thin ribbon of metal surrounded by a magnetic field serves as the diaphragm.
  12. 17. Program narration provided by on-screen talent
  13. 20. The audio portion of a program created through dialogue or narration.
  14. 22. The smallest type of mic that can be worn by talent and is attached to clothing at or near the breastbone with a small clip or pin.
  15. 23. A microphone used to pick up a sound on a stage or in a large room and is most commonly a condenser type. Boundary mics are usually placed on a table, floor, or wall to “hear” the sound that is reflected off hard surfaces.
  16. 24. The level of audio between pieces of audio equipment. For example, the level of audio going from the output of a CD player to the input on an amplifier.
  17. 25. Type of boom that must be physically held over the heads of talent.
  18. 27. The sound present in a room or at a location before human occupation.
  19. 31. A meter on either an audio or mic mixer that indicates signal strength.
