I wonder how long it'll be until this technique becomes feasible for recording professionally? Like, instead of capsules and diaphragms, we just have a laser that gets the cleanest, clearest possible signal it can, from the room around you ..
- mannykannot 9y agoIsn't one of the benefits of high-quality microphones that they can reject or attenuate the ambient sounds and reverberations that you do not want?
- CharlesW 9y agoHigher-quality microphones tend to pick up more ambient sound because they're more sensitive and/or have a larger frequency response. "Worse is better" sometimes applies to mics as well. For example, new podcasters are often advised to use cheap dynamic mics since it forces them to get close to the mic (improving their signal-to-noise ratio) and doesn't pick up audio over 15 kHz (which is not meaningful for voice recording).
- mannykannot 9y agomore sensitive and with a wider frequency response but also directional and with fewer resonances than what OP was suggesting.
- phjesusthatguy3 9y agoDo you guys have R&D working on moving the digitalization of audio into the mic? Like having a laser inside the mic read the ribbon and spit out a digital stream?
