Gear use for this: 1. Shure 8900 mic

2. Yamaha Clavinova cvp 503

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

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

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.

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.

• 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
