I ran across this fairly amazing book/article on the web, published by Neumann, which describes in fairly technical terms which I found to be fairly understandable (OK, I didn't even try to figure out any of the equations), how microphones work as well as how and why various capsule designs work the way they do. It also has an extensive section on applications. I don't think I've ever seen so much information on mic principles of operation in one place. (It's 79 pages...I printed it out for bathroom reading.) Check it out.

Yes, it's an excellent little book.
I saved a copy to my hard drive - but I *do* have a printed copy as well. ;D

Great info! There is a published book called The Microphone Book, which is also great and very similar to this, although longer. The author of it escapes me though.

Well, that's all well and good information, but it's not very thorough. I mean, there wasn't a single explanation for how to keep spun wooks from thrashing my stand...
<just kidding, excellent stuff and thanks for sharing!>

Wasn't the answer an A27M vert bar made by shure on the end of a Manfrotto stand extension?
