Recording device These electrical signals are sent to a recording devicewhich can be a computer, a digital audio recorder or even a smartphone.
Storage The device records these signals in digital format (such as MP3 or WAV) or on physical media (such as a CD).
Reading When you want to listen to the recording, the device converts the stored signals back into sound waves via speakers or headphones.
