Transmission des signaux audio-visuels [...] Les systèmes de transmission analogique convertissent l'information utile en un signal électrique qui est une analogie de celle-ci. C'est-à-dire que la valeur du signal électrique ou sa tension est proportionnelle à l'information à transmettre. Ce signal présente une structure continue d'informations. Les caractéristiques d'un transducteur analogique sont : la tension de sortie (en relation avec la nature du signal capté), la dynamique et la bande passante. 1, record 2, French, - transducteur%20analogique

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.(ENBELL, 80 : 36) 1, record 4, English, - telephone%20transmitter

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.
