A moving-coil mic drawn in the makingsoftware.com idiom — blue isometric line-art that slowly opens into a labelled exploded view (grille → diaphragm → voice coil → magnet → XLR) and runs the live transduction (sound in → coil bobs in the field → signal out the cable). Tabs across to the tape machine. Single self-contained file, one projection engine.
