Dynamic microphones

Dynamic microphones

Dynamic microphones are electromagnetic microphones. This type of microphone resembles a mesh ball attached to a cut pipe. A dynamic type of microphone is almost always use for recording live sound and singing on stage,. Typically, dynamic microphones are used for studio recordings of bass guitar, electric guitar and drums. Dynamic microphones, with the exception of wireless microphones, use neither batteries nor a power supply to operate. The construction of dynamic microphones is quite robust, and the cost is very reasonable. Since the electrical output signal in dynamic microphones is very small, it is necessary to use a microphone amplifier, which is already built into external sound cards, mixers, and other audio equipment designed for use with dynamic microphones.

Dynamic microphones come in many shapes and sizes – some with large diaphragms, others with small diaphragms. The size of the dynamic aperture is very important to the sound of a microphone. Therefore, a large diaphragm will make the sound of the microphone smoother and deeper. The large diaphragm is greatly appreciated for its smooth vocal reproduction. And the large diaphragm microphones are a favorite for brass instruments and bass drums.

Dynamic microphones are durable, reliable and deliver consistent sound quality. The only drawbacks of dynamic microphones are their sensitivity and frequency range, although these drawbacks are so small that we can’t even talk about them, especially since these drawbacks are practically absent in modern, high-quality dynamic microphones due to the use of modern, high-quality materials in their production.

To connect dynamic microphones, use XLR-XLR, XLR-PL6.3mm cables. The cable is very important to sound reproduction of a dynamic microphone. Therefore, if you decide to purchase a high-quality dynamic microphone, then spare the money for a high-quality cable.

The most popular dynamic microphone manufacturers are Shure, AKG, Behringer and Sennheiser.
