Microphones and stands therefor

HS v2017 Code: 851810

About microphones and stands therefor

hs code 851810 covers the classification of microphones and their associated stands. Microphones are essential audio equipment used in a wide range of industries, from broadcasting and sound recording to public address systems and telecommunications. They play a crucial role in capturing and converting sound waves into electrical signals, enabling effective communication, entertainment, and data transmission across various applications.

Production process

Microphones are typically manufactured using a combination of precision engineering and advanced materials. The production process often involves the assembly of various components, including a diaphragm, a voice coil, a magnet, and a housing. The diaphragm is responsible for converting sound waves into mechanical vibrations, which are then translated into electrical signals by the voice coil and magnet assembly. Specialized manufacturing techniques, such as precision machining and delicate assembly, ensure the consistent performance and quality of microphones.

Production inputs

The production of microphones and their stands requires a range of inputs, including specialized materials such as thin, lightweight diaphragms, high-quality magnets, and durable housings. Additionally, the manufacturing process relies on advanced machinery and tools, including precision milling equipment, soldering stations, and assembly workstations. Skilled technicians and engineers are also essential inputs, as they are responsible for the design, development, and quality control of these audio devices.

Production outputs

Microphones and their stands (hs code 851810) are primarily used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries and applications. These include 852110 Sound recording or reproducing apparatus, 852380 Electrical signalling, safety or traffic control equipment for railways, tramways, roads, inland waterways, parking facilities, port installations or airfields, and 851762 Machines for the reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data, including switching and routing apparatus. The versatility of microphones allows them to be integrated into a wide range of products and systems, contributing to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of communication, entertainment, and data transmission technologies.
