Dynamic vs Condenser Microphones, What's the Difference?

Ғылым және технология

In today's video I explore the difference between Dynamic & Condenser microphones. I talk about how they work, what that means for real world applications, and then I help you decide which one is right for you.
00:28 - Part I: How do they work?
02:14 - Part II: How are they different?
03:20 - Part III: A quick comparison.
04:02 - Part IV: Which type should you buy?
Correction: Condenser mic used is Rode NT1, not NT1a

I forget the exact terms but you demoed the directional positions ... those types are available in the dynamic and condenser microphones... perhaps some videos on those in both types .. fantastic video too ... I didn't realize that condenser microphones are a bit more sensitive to hard shocks and hits ... and that they can potentially distort the sound (in a very loud recording environment) great info thank you

    Podcastage Right. My poor technique is a product of singing in to SM58s in bars with garbage sound systems and trying to hear myself. If I keep the mic INSIDE my mouth, maybe I'll be able to hear better :) Plus, it's a security blanket. I feel more anchored on stage if I'm touching the mic from time to time.

    @@scunthorpe5513 A lot of people hate dynamics for gaming because they have to have a mic in their face, but as long as you have a boom, it's not a big deal. I think the Electro-Voice mics are best for this because they control plosives super well and variable D takes care of the proximity effect so you don't have to worry about mic technique while playing. Most gamers I see with dynamics have an SM7B, though it's hard to fault them for that choice either.

    A very good primer on mics with one exception. All microphones have a pickup pattern that determines where it picks up sound from. Three common types (there are several others) are cardioid, omni-directional and uni-directional. Some mics even have an adjustable pattern. His dynamic mic has a cardioid pattern which means it gathers sound strongly from the front but is much weaker from the sides and get almost nothing from the rear. You can buy cardioid condenser mics. In other words, the technology, condenser vs dynamic, is less important than it's pickup pattern in determining from where sounds will come through.

    Dynamic microphones typically do a better job than condenser microphones at rejecting background noise, even compared to condenser microphones. That's partly due to the underlying technology. Condenser microphones are just more sensitive in general, especially outside the midrange frequency ranges of the human voice.

    Also a condencer is better if you do wana record anbiance. John Ziniger a mike expert at the american printing house for the blind AKA APH says that for the best most true sound get a small diaphragam omni mike. A pare if you want stereo. I know I'm going beond the scope of the vid because you focus on podcasting and not as much on field outdoors or just anbiance recording, but I'm an audio geek and I just had to geek out dude.

    I agree, also, for indoor dialogue, I recommend a small diaphragm super or hyper cardioid condenser mic, they have better off axis rejection than typical cardioid mics and you dont have to eat the mic, meaning you can keep them out of the shot depending on what you are going for..

  • @Podcastage

    Absolutely. You'll often see an x-y setup of small diaphragm condensers for live classical or chorus performances. I have not done much sound design, but I imagine you would absolutely want a condenser because you are trying to capture the most authentic sound, and that's where condensers shine. Great post by the way. Thanks you for making the comment section smarter. =)

    There is a difference which is really noticeable when he played the guitar. The dynamic sounded muddled, like all the notes are jumbled up together making it a bit messy to listen to, while the condenser sounded cleaner and you can pick out the individual notes clearly. When talking though, he sounds better on the dynamic because his voice sounds fuller while on the condenser, he sounded thin. This is why radio and podcasts and anything that records talking favors dynamic mics, while playing intruments, singers, and other activities that either records a lot of sound at once or has a wide range of frequencies favor condenser mics. Edit: If you want to hear the "difference", get a headset or earphones (speakers won't really work for this), turn up the volume so it feels like you can hear him in your head but not too loud that it hurts, then listen in a quiet place where you won't be distracted.
