Definition

The conversion process between electrical signals and acoustic (mechanical wave) energy in which an electrical input produces a pressure wave (speaker, ultrasonic transducer) or an acoustic pressure wave produces an electrical output (microphone, hydrophone), mediated by electromechanical coupling mechanisms such as piezoelectricity, electromagnetic induction, capacitive forces, or electrostatic a
