Audio Sensors are sensors designed to detect acoustic energy and convert it into an electrical signal that represents sound. They provide an interface between the physical sound field and electronic systems by capturing variations in air pressure or mechanical vibration.
Within the sensors category, audio sensors commonly include devices that:
- Sense sound pressure changes and translate them into analog or digital electrical outputs
- Support signal acquisition for subsequent amplification, filtering, or processing
- Enable sound detection and measurement functions as part of broader sensing solutions
