Formed by the Lateral and Approximant manners of articulation, ie, made by an obstruction in the air-passage, and produced with no friction, with a weak breath force.
Formed by as plosive consonants, but with slower separation of the articulating organs, so thatthe corresponding fricative is audible as the separation takes place.
Formed by placing an obstacle in the centre of the air-channel, but leaving a free passage forthe air on one or both sides of the obstacle.

In a bilabial consonant, the lower and upper lips approach or touch each other.
As we have seen, one of the two constrictions that form a [w] is a bilabial approximant.
The other is a velar approximant: the tongue body approaches the soft palate, but does not get even as close as it does in an [x].

Closure occurs when the constriction is complete - the gap is closed completely and the airflow is completely obstructed - this occurs during plosive or stop sounds and usually results in a period of silence.
Although in English all nasal consonants are driven by the pulsed airflow of vocal cord vibration (that is, they are voiced), there are several cognate pairs possible among the consonants, depending on whether the velar port is open or closed.
In these examples the constriction is identical for the nasal and non-nasal sounds, as is the vocal cord vibration - the only difference is whether or not the velar port has been allowed to open to produce the nasal sounds.

 The Greek Alphabet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Now, to the modern Greek ear, [v] is a soft sound (a "fricative" in linguistics), sort of smooth and gentle, while [b] is a hard one (a "plosive"), kind of rough and crass.
Notice that the second way of writing the lower case sigma is used exclusively when the letter appears at the end of a word (there is only one capital form); this rule has no exceptions.
So the "plosive" sounds were re-introduced, but pairs of letters were used now to denote them.

 Edward Champion’s Return of the Reluctant » 2006 » February
In the course of engineering audio, I’ve noticed that the bilabial plosive (meaning the b sound when voiced and the p sound when voiceless) is sometimes recorded with too much gain, even when I have placed the microphone at a reasonable distance from the mouth.
Not having an expensive processing unit, I am wondering if there is a workaround that would save me such time.
(I am guessing that switching to condensers is probably the answer.) I am also curious why the bilabial plosive is so prominent (particularly in deep-voiced male speakers).
