This entire extended talk is excellent. Easy to understand for a novice, but without glossing over the specifics. Thank you.

At last, an explanation why it needs power. Other videos spent 5 minutes saying it just needs power or it doesn't work. I didn't know if there was a tiny pre-amp built into them etc. !

Where does that center screw or terminal screw into? I mean the diafram is very thin so what is behind that diafram where the center screw goes into?? It can't be the backplate coz that would A create a short and B it would be a rigid connection stopping the diafram from vibrating.

[@RoswellProAudio]

There is a non-conductive core in the center of the backplate.

@@RoswellProAudio Ah okay. That makes sense. Thanks!

Wish there was an even more basic version of this talk. Pro tip - we can’t see where your laser pointer is pointing…

This guy is the most boring speaker ever. Nice display behind him though, if it wasn't for that I'd be asleep... zzzz...

[@hugohasselblad4890]

Respectfully disagree. Good slides and great explanation. Have a nice day

[@TheBaconWizard]

He is not the problem here.

[@mobins127]

Quite the contrary.
