This is the kind of transducer a PZM mic uses.
What is Electret Condenser?
300
This is the name for the heavy, movable walls used to isolate certain musicians or instruments in the studio from the rest of the instruments to avoid unwanted sound leakage into other mics.
What is Baffles or GoBos?
300
This is the microphone placement technique that requires placing the microphone in distances of 3 ft. or more to allow the room's acoustic environment to be picked up and naturally mixed in with the direct signal.

What is Sensitivity Rating?
400
This is what the phase of a waveform is measured in.
What is Degrees?
400
This is the form of distortion that occurs with the slight tape speed variations in magnetic recorders resulting in pitch variation.
What is Wow?
400
This microphone polar pattern provides good isolation when recording 2 sources to one track.
What is Bi-Directional or Figure 8?
500
This acoustic treatment in audio production is used to scatter the sound energy evenly over a wide angle to preserve the liveliness of the room.
What is Diffusion or Diffusers?
500
This microphone specification is the measure of how rapidly a mic's diaphragm reacts to a sound wave that hits it.
What is Transient Response?
500
This is the physical distance in air from the beginning of 1 wave cycle to the beginning of the next cycle,
What is Wavelength?
500
This noise signal uses Fletcher Munson to give the listener the perception that it is equally loud at all frequencies.
