hljóðtöku is an Icelandic term that translates to "sound recording" or "audio capture." It encompasses the process and technology used to preserve sounds in a format that can be played back later. This can range from capturing spoken words and music to environmental sounds and industrial noise. The fundamental principle behind hljóðtöku involves converting sound waves, which are physical vibrations in the air, into an electrical signal. This electrical signal is then stored in various ways, either analogously or digitally.
Historically, hljóðtöku was achieved through analog means, most notably on wax cylinders and later on magnetic
The equipment used for hljóðtöku includes microphones, which act as transducers to convert sound waves into
