When a sound hits the microphone membrane, it causes the the coil\u00a0to move in and out of the magnet. This disturbs the magnetic fields within the coil and causes a current\u00a0to pass along the cable from the microphone to the sound card.<\/p>\n<p>The voltage produced will vary, depending on\u00a0how fast the magnetic moves within the coil, and the current flow will alternate it&#8217;s direction, depending on whether the magnetic is moving inwards or outwards.<\/p>\n<p>The sound card&#8217;s \u00a0job is to act as a highly sensitive and accurate voltmeter, recording the voltage every set time period (the sampling rate). These measurements are passed to the computer software that is used to save the recorded voltages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Cc0Lup6I_YY\">Microphone Demo Animation video (YouTube)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">Sound in Binary<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n<h3>Converting the audio wave to binary format<\/h3>\n<p>Now we have the voltage for each measurement, all we need to do in order to store the data in binary is simply store a stream of binary numbers.
