The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The two main classes of sound recording technology are analog recording and digital recording.
- Acoustic analog recording is achieved by a microphone diaphragm that senses changes in atmospheric pressure caused by acoustic sound waves and records them as a mechanical representation of the sound waves on a medium such as a phonograph record.
- In magnetic tape recording, the sound waves vibrate the microphone diaphragm and are converted into a varying electric current, which is then converted to a varying magnetic field by an electromagnet, which makes a representation of the sound as magnetized areas on a plastic tape with a magnetic coating on it.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Sound recording and reproduction article was read about 81,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 78: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
