The press release on this one is full of superlatives, but somehow most of them seem justified. Schwartz Engineering & Design just announced its Laser-Accurate microphone technology, which promises to ...

Repeating golden placement of studio microphones between recording sessions can be a bit of an imprecise pain. The UK's Aston Microphones has come up with an industry first that could save precious ...

The inventor of the MP3 digital audio format has developed a laser microphone that eliminates mechanical interference. In a proof-of-concept device, the Rochester Institute of Technology's David ...

The quest for ever more realistic sound reproduction seems set to move to a whole new level. Traditional microphones convert sound to electrical signals by measuring the deflections that sound ...

David Schwartz, who laid the foundation for MP3 with his undergraduate and Ph.D. work in the 80s, has another big idea: a microphone that uses lasers and smoke to detect the minute variations in air ...

It seems folks are just incessant in the quest to create new kinds of microphones, with a California-based inventor patenting the latest attempt in the form of the sure-to-be-Mini-Me-approved laser ...

A team of academics has detailed this week novel research that converted a smart vacuum cleaner into a microphone capable of recording nearby conversations. Named LidarPhone, the technique works by ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have conducted the first demonstration of a faster and more accurate way to calibrate certain kinds of microphones. The ...

Technology touted as a major step in the technological evolution of the microphone was demonstrated at the 127th Audio Engineering Society Show in New York. Laser-Accurate technology from Schwartz ...

Here are some recent audio-related items that caught my eye: Build a Laser Microphone: Here's an interesting project offered to those DIYers who want to “eavesdrop on conversations across the street.” ...

Researchers have conducted the first demonstration of a faster and more accurate way to calibrate certain kinds of microphones. The technique, which uses lasers to measure the velocity at which a ...
