11/03/2025 - Sound

 Today in class, we watched a StudioBinder video on sound. What I learned: 


- Sound synced to video in the late 1920’s

- Sample rate: the amount of times a sound wave is sampled per second and is measured in kilohertz 

- Bit depth: the number of values the amplitude of a sound possesses 

- Single System: audio captured directly on camera

- Dual System: audio captured independently from camera, has better audio

- Sound Cart: hold the sound equipment 

-Sound Mixer: a kit the hold several types of microphones

          - shotgun mic

          - condenser mic; sensitive requires phantom power

          - dynamic mic; better for capturing and isolating a close sound source, doesn’t require phantom      power 

          - lavalier mic; a small hidden mic

- ENG Kit: for small sets (a shotgun mic, 2 lavaliers, a recorder)

- Preamp: a device to help avoid noise interference by boosting the weak electronic signal from a    microphone up to a line level

- Cables 

          - unbalanced (2 wires)

          - balances (minimizes unwanted noise, is more expensive)
