A dynamic microphone is a type of microphone that uses electromagnetic induction to convert sound into an electrical signal. It typically consists of a diaphragm attached to a coil of wire, placed within the magnetic field of a magnet. When sound waves hit the diaphragm, it moves, causing the coil to move within the magnetic field and generate an electrical signal that corresponds to the sound.

Dynamic microphones are known for their durability, reliability, and ability to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion. They are commonly used in live sound settings, such as concerts and public speaking events, as well as in studio environments for recording loud instruments like drums and guitar amplifiers. Examples of popular dynamic microphones include the Shure SM58 and the Sennheiser e835.
