What is the symbol for a mic?

Right. If it's just about labelling the recordings, then Mono or
Stereo works well, and better than making up a symbol.



Some people use labelling machines with basic graphic capability, or they
print them from a computer onto a sheet of little paper labels. So if you
only design it once you might as well do something that looks nice.

I like my
idea of combining the two overlapping cirles and the standard circle/bar
symbol, as it's a simple design and seems to fit well with what the OP had in
mind, AND is unambiguous enough for schematics and block diagrams too.

I want to write (by hand) if some voice recordings of mine are in
mono or stereo.

Are there some standard symbols used for a mono mic and a stereo
mic?

Are there mono/stereo mic symbols used in schematic circuit diagrams
which could be used?

--------------------------------

I've seen two overlapping circles used for stereo. But for some
reason a mono mic is one circle PLUS a short bar

Here's an idea...
For mono, do the usual, the circle and bar. If you were using it in a block
diagram you'd get by with one pin coming off the circle at the point opposite
the bar's contact with the circle, otherwise two, each slightly offset from
that position, and parallel.

For stereo, use the two overlapping circles, and a bar joining tangents on
each and extending to a point at each end coexistent with a tangent on the
points most distant from each other on the double-circle pattern. (Bar is
this same length now). Add one pin to each circle as before, for block
diagrams, and for schematics, a third extending from the circle intersection
point out to a point halfway between the outer ends of the other pins.

Stereo mics do exist, so this symbol makes sense, it fits existing
conventions, and isn't going to get confused with a current source symbol
because that has no bar, and its pins are in line, not offset.

I could have just drawn this, but I have no file hosting arranged, and
figuring that out is a lot harder than saying this stuff..

Is your purpose communication or demonstrating how clever you are?

Every time I have to figure out some knot-headed icon, I curse. Write
"Stereo" on the stereo recordings and "Mono" on the mono recordings -
then anyone who knows enough about the subject to care about the
difference will understand. I speak, read and write English, not
Iconese. let them go back to Iconland where they belong.

Just use two mics, one labeled "Right" and the other labeled "Left."

Sure, there are "stereo mics", but they're really just two mics in the
same package.

This is true, but when the point is to think in terms of a pairing as
default state that would be like having to always explicitly specify
multiples of the scissor, or the trouser.

When's the last time you needed a schematic of a scissor or a trouser? ;-)

Why do they wear a pair of panties but only one bra? ;-)

Double entendre? Or is that just the single entendre?
