In most audio setups, the microphone is the first instrument in the signal chain. Everything that happens to the sound from this point onwards is influenced largely by the selection and placement of the microphone. The acoustics also have an important impact on the final result. Understanding the basic principles of microphones and their influence on the signal chain is therefore essential for any audio professional.

For example, in which situation would you use a condenser over a dynamic mic? Should the singer use a hypercardiod or a supercardioid polar pattern? Should you use one or two mics to capture a snare drum? Does such a thing as an ideal microphone exist?
