Detailed explanation-1: -Speakers convert audio into sound, whereas microphones convert sound into audio.
Detailed explanation-2: -Microphone converts sound to electrical signal where as loudspeaker converts electrical signal to sound waves. Microphone is used at transmitting end where as loudspeaker or speaker is used at receiving end. Microphone should be close to mouth where as speaker should be close to ears for better performance.
Detailed explanation-3: -Line-in and mic-in are audio inputs but they are indicative of the voltage level of the audio signal. Line-in can handle strong (think loud) currents whereas a mic-in can handle very low level of currents. With audio signals, sound is transferred as a voltage into our mixers, audio interfaces, amplifiers, and speakers.
Detailed explanation-4: -The input is where the source of the sound is attached, or “fed” to the amplifier. This can be with many types of plugs and devices such as microphones, mixing boards, MP3 players, etc. The output is where the louder sound leaves the amplifier.
