Today we shall learn about the differences
between a Condenser Microphone and a Dynamic
Microphone
3
Frequency Response

• Condenser Microphones
• Condenser mics work better on high frequency
  instruments such as
• acoustic guitar
• cymbals
• piano

• Dynamic Microphones
• And dynamic mics work better on low-mid frequency
  instruments such as
• drums
• electric guitar cabs

Diaphragm Size and Weight
Dynamic Microphones heavier diaphragms of
dynamic mics are far less responsive to higher
frequencies
Condenser Microphones They use a smaller,
lighter diaphragm to capture sound.
5
Internal Circuitry
Dynamic Microphones The larger mass generates
enough voltage through movement, to eliminate the
need for an external power source.
Condenser Microphones With phantom power,
condenser mics can achieve higher gain, and
record softer sounds.
6
Diaphragm Durability
Dynamic Microphones Dynamic Mics are not as
fragile as Condenser Mics
Condenser Microphones Lighter diaphragms in
condenser mics are also more fragile.
7
General Durability
Dynamic Microphones The overall design of
dynamic mics is stronger
Condenser Microphones Condenser Mics are not as
strong
8
Resistance to Moisture
Dynamic Microphones Highly resistant to
environmental changes such as humidity.
Condenser Microphones Can suffer performance
problems under extreme humidity changes.
9
Gain Before Feedback
Dynamic Microphones They allow for higher
gain before feedback.
Condenser Microphones Do not allow for higher
gain before feedback
