A sound recording represents air pressure. But air pressure correlates to the *acceleration* of a vibrating surface, not position or velocity, and a speaker reproduces sound by accelerating the speaker cone. So recordings are basically acceleration. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-does-a-loudspeaker-cone-generate-acoustical-pressure.48261/ An electric guitar pickup magnetically measures the *velocity* of a metal string. I want to know: is there typically a conversion from velocity to acceleration, or is the signal just interpreted as if it were acceleration?
