A microphone converts pressure variations in the air into electrical signals.
Moving Coil Microphones
Moving coil microphones use the inductive properties of a coil of wire moving through a magnetic field.

Condensor Microphones
Condensor microphones, also called capacitor microphones, use a capacitive capsule.
