They have a much greater frequency response and transient response, which is the ability to reproduce the "speed" of an instrument or voice.

They also generally have a louder output but are much more sensitive to loud sounds.

Condenser microphones are generally much more expensive than dynamic microphones, but many less expensive condensers are made. The problem is that most of these less expensive mics come from a couple of factories in China, and they all sound the same--very brittle and with little low end.

Condenser mics require the use of a power supply, generally 48-volt "phantom power," and that's supplied easily by most mixing boards or external power supplies. Look for a switch that says "P 48" or "48V" on the channel strip or on the back of the mixer.

Condenser microphones are generally used only in studios because of their sensitivity to loud sounds and the fact that they're quite a bit more fragile than their dynamic counterparts. That being said, you'll find them on stage at live music venues for use as drum overheads or for use in orchestral or choral sound reinforcement.]]> 2017-10-27 06:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/namedkashaf/Kshf_mic02/wish/201094316 TYPE OF CONDENSER MICROPHONE namedkashaf https://padlet.com/namedkashaf/Kshf_mic02/wish/201095256 There are two different types of condenser mics: small and large diaphragm.]]> 2017-10-27 06:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/namedkashaf/Kshf_mic02/wish/201095256 LARGE-DIAPHRAGM MICROPHONE (LDM) namedkashaf https://padlet.com/namedkashaf/Kshf_mic02/wish/201096060 Large-diaphragm microphones (LDMs) are most often the choice for studio vocals and any instrument recording where a deeper sound is desired. 

A large-diaphragm microphone warms up the sound of what it's recording, which also leads to the myth that most LDMs reproduce low frequencies better than small diaphragm mics.

This isn't true, in fact, small-diaphragm mics are much better at reproducing everything evenly, including bass. You'll want a pop screen if you're using a condenser microphone for vocals; they're so sensitive to transient noises that the "P" and "SH" sounds you make will cause distortion.

If you’re looking for a microphone with a large diaphragm, a good option is the Audio-Technica AT2035, which provides a natural sound. You can use it in your home, at a recording studio or in live performances; its cardioid studio condenser ensures low background noise.

SDMs are also the preferred choice for concert taping.]]> 2017-10-27 06:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/namedkashaf/Kshf_mic02/wish/201096318 ABOUT DYNAMIC MICROPHONE namedkashaf https://padlet.com/namedkashaf/Kshf_mic02/wish/201097258 Compared to condenser microphones, dynamic microphones are much more rugged. They're also especially resistant to moisture and other forms of abuse, which makes them the perfect choice onstage. Dynamic microphones like the Shure SM57 and Shure SM58 are legendary for not only their good sound quality, but also for the amount of abuse they can withstand. Any good rock club probably has at least five of each of these microphones in various states of aesthetic ruin, but they still turn on and more than likely sound just as they did the day they came out of the package.

Dynamic microphones don't require their own power supply like condenser microphones. However, their sound quality is generally not as accurate. Most dynamic microphones have a limited frequency response, which makes them well-suited, along with their ability to withstand high sound pressure levels, for loud guitar amps, live vocals, and drums.
