El micrófono de carbón puede ser comparado a una resistencia inserta en el circuito de la corriente de alimentación: las vibraciones del aire mueven la membrana y modifican la resistencia del micrófono y, consiguientemente, la corriente que pasa por el mismo. Estos micrófonos dan excesivo ruido de fondo y solamente son prácticos para transmitir la palabra en la gama de frecuencias de 80 a 3500 hertzios. 1, record 1, Spanish, - micr%C3%B3fono%20de%20carb%C3%B3n
