Mic-within-a-mic

The mic-within-a-mic concept is an interesting idea. The idea is a to reduce wind and the 'popping' noise that is often heard with microphones. An example of a mic that uses the mic-within-a-mic design is the RE50B Microphone from Electro-Voice.

Mirophone University

Just came across this interesting section on the DPA Microphones website called the Microphone University. Very helpful. The website explains many of the basics and more complicated info such as 'Surround Techniques'. Well worth checking out.

DPA supplies a wide range of microphones including miniature microphones.
