Is there a way to make sound play through your microphone instead of speaker to where if im talking with the microphone and I play music, It will just play clearly through the microphone to where the person I'm talking to with it can hear the music fine?

  1. you can make speaker as microphone and microphone as  speaker but there won't  be any clearence or quality


  2. Not really. Infact, that would cause feed-back, resulting in a loud squeal. Either a mic or a speaker can be used in the opposite direction as they are both transducers, in the sense that a speaker can be used as a mic and a mic as a speaker. In either case though, in one case they are hooked to the input side of the circuit and in the other, to the output side, but if the input side is fed to the output side at the same time, that is when you get feed-back.

  3. you can't!!

    A speaker is only built to speak. a microphone can only hear and record voice or people singing songs. mircophone Can't speak At all. only speakers can.

  4. you have a good question. both speakers and mics are transducers that convert sound pressure waves to electricity and back.

    the dual purpose mic/speaker was used for some intercom systems. they used a high impedance (45 ohm) 4 inch speaker as the element. no one ever accused this system to be High Fidelity. Also while the system worked both ways, it did not speak and listen simultaneously, it had to switch between modes. For that to happen you need a telephone style hybrid transformer which may not be practical at impedence levels this low. even a hybrid only offers about 50 dB of isolation which is why the high output of a carbon mic is crucial to making it possible (the incoming and outgoing audio levels are comparable).

  5. Totally different technologies.
