The carbon granule type of microphone is in universal use for commercial telephony. It consists of a diaphragm to which is attached an electrode of carbon or metal which is moved by the diaphragm to and fro in a chamber containing carbon granules, a second electrode being fixed at the back of the chamber. 5, record 1, English, - microphone

Pour des raisons de robustesse, de prix, de puissance délivrée, tous les microphones actuellement utilisés en téléphonie sont des microphones à résistance variable. La résistance est constituée par de la grenaille de charbon enfermée dans une enceinte entre deux électrodes: une électrode fixe et une électrode mobile. 4, record 1, French, - microphone

A transducer which uses voice sound pressure on a diaphragm to compress carbon granules between electrodes. The resulting resistance variation modulates a battery current flowing between the electrodes, thus translating the acoustic message into an analog electrical signal. (SMICO, 71: 433) As Mrs. Smith talks into her handset, the minute variations in air pressure caused by her voice result in resistance fluctuations in the carbon transmitter.

Microphone à l'intérieur duquel le déplacement de la membrane provoque des variations de la valeur d'une résistance prise entre deux électrodes. (DELTE 1, 75: 8) A ce jour, en téléphonie, les microphones le plus généralement utilisés, sont les microphones à variation de résistance décrits ci-dessous (microphones à charbon), dont les qualités essentielles sont la robustesse, le faible prix et l'aptitude à fournir, pour des variations d'amplitude déterminées, les tensions microphoniques les plus élevées.
