A live mic, short for microphone, is a device used to capture sound and transform it into an electrical signal that can be processed and broadcast. The term “live” in this context means that the mic is actively receiving and conveying sound in real-time, as opposed to a recorded signal. There are various types of microphones, each designed for different applications, such as wireless microphones for stage performances, shotgun microphones for film production, and USB microphones for digital recordings.
