The document summarizes gear used for music production, including a Shure 8900 microphone and Yamaha Clavinova cvp 503 digital piano. It describes the Shure microphone's popularity, dynamic type, frequency response, and unidirectional pickup. It then explains how a dynamic microphone works using a diaphragm, coil, and magnet to create a current from sound waves. It also provides an overview of the analog-to-digital conversion process for recording, including sampling rate and bit depth, and the digital-to-analog conversion process for playback. Finally, it mentions that the Clavinova can record audio files in .wav format to a USB drive.

3. Gear use for this:
1. Shure 8900 mic
2. Yamaha Clavinova cvp 503

4. Mic
1. Very popular model in Indonesia Shure
8900 mostly for singing.
2. Dynamic type
3. All-purpose microphone designed for
karaoke, sound reinforcement, and
multimedia uses
4. 50 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response
ensures clean, full sound
5. Unidirectional pickup isolates vocal or
instrument from overall mix for clarity

5. Dynamic mic
The diaphragm is attached to the
coil. When the diaphragm
vibrates in response to incoming
sound waves, the coil moves
backwards and forwards past the
magnet. This creates a current in
the coil which is channeled from
the microphone along wires.
when a magnet is moved near a
coil of wire an electrical current
is generated in the wire. Using
this electromagnet principle, the
dynamic microphone uses a wire
coil and magnet to create the
audio signal

6. Recording
1.The analog signal is transmitted from the input device to an analog-to-digital
converter (ADC).
2.The ADC converts this signal by repeatedly measuring the momentary level
of the analog (audio) wave and then assigning a binary number with a given
quantity of bits (word length) to each measuring point.
3.The frequency at which the ADC measures the level of the analog wave is
called the sample rate or sampling rate.
4.A digital audio sample with a given word length represents the audio level at
one moment.
5.The longer the word length the more exact is the representation of the
original audio wave levelwise.
6.The higher the sampling rate the higher the upper cutoff frequency of the
digitized audio signal.
7.The ADC outputs a sequence of samples that make up a continuous stream
of 0s and 1s.
8.These numbers are stored onto recording media such as magnetic tape, hard
drive, optical drive or solid state memory.

8. Playback
1.The sequence of numbers is transmitted from
storage into a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which
converts the numbers back to an analog signal by
sticking together the level information stored in each
digital sample, thus rebuilding the original analog
wave form.
2.This signal is amplified and transmitted to the
loudspeakers or video screen.

15. • USB Audio
• can record and play .wav audio
files.
• as a tape deck recording audio in
CD quality—16 bit 44.1 kHz
sample rate directly to USB flash
memory stick
• can record playing the Clavinova
as well as hook up a mic, guitar,
or any device that plugs into the
MIC/LINE IN input. .wav file can
be converted to .mp3
.
