The interface then converts the analog signal to digital and feeds the audio to your PC for recording. Within USB microphones, all of the analog to digital conversion takes place within the microphone - no audio interface required. The digital signal is then fed via USB connection directly into your PC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondenser Microphones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow Do They Capture Sound?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"\u003eTypical condenser microphones use a lightweight membrane\/diaphragm and a fixed plate that act as a capacitor. Sound pressure causes this thin membrane to move. This movement changes the capacitance of the circuit creating an electrical signal.
