Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It captures audio by converting sound waves into an electrical signal, which may be a digital or analog signal.

Detailed explanation-2: -A microphone converts sound into a small electrical current. Sound waves hit a diaphragm that vibrates, moving a magnet near a coil. In some designs, the coil moves within a magnet. Other microphones, such as condenser microphones, work on the principle of capacitance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Microphones first produce analog audio signals (AC voltages). These analog signals can then be converted to digital signals if need be. Microphones are transducers that convert mechanical wave energy (sound waves) into electrical energy (analog audio signals or AC voltage).

Detailed explanation-4: -A microphone is a device that translates sound vibrations in the air into electronic signals and scribes them to a recording medium or over a loudspeaker. Microphones enable many types of audio recording devices for purposes including communications of many kinds, as well as music vocals, speech and sound recording.
