DAMicrophone Class


Creates a DAMicrophone object that represents a (potentially) animated microphone. A microphone is used with the RenderSound function to produce spatialized sound behaviors from sounds embedded in a geometry.

Every microphone has a location and an orientation in a three-dimensional space, and this location determines how a sound is detected. The closer a microphone is to the source of a sound, the louder and sooner the microphone detects that sound. The effect is to "spatialize" the sound, that is, make it seem that it was actually recorded in a three-dimensional space.

For the default microphone, the location is the origin, looking in the negative z-direction, with positive y-axis considered up. You can create new microphones at different locations by using the Transform function. Microphones are omnidirectional.

This class inherits from the DABehavior class.
