Basic Dynamic Microphone Characteristics - Why Choose a Dynamic Over a Condenser?
Dynamic Mic Characteristics
Minimizes room noise – perfect for sonically untreated rooms
Smooth audio capture with classic warm broadcast sound
Robust construction with no external power requirements
Condenser Mic Characteristics
Extremely sensitive – picks up the subtlest sounds in any environment
Very articulate audio with a detailed high-frequency capture
Requires external power to operate (phantom or battery)
Understanding How a Dynamic Microphone Captures Sound - How Does a Dynamic Mic Work?
Dynamic microphones use a diaphragm connected to a coil of wire that surrounds a magnet.
The diaphragm is moved by changing sound pressure. This moves the coil, which causes current to flow as it moves through the magnetic field. An electrical signal is then sent to your recording device or speakers which records or amplifies the audio.
Dynamic microphones are extremely durable and can handle very high sound pressure levels (SPL).
