Dynamic

A dynamic microphone is a type of microphone that uses an electromagnetic principle to convert sound into an electrical signal. It 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 causes the diaphragm to move, generating an electrical current in the coil, which is then sent as an audio signal. Dynamic microphones are known for their durability, ability to handle high sound pressure levels, and resistance to moisture, making them ideal for live sound situations and rugged environments. They are commonly used for vocals, instruments, and public speaking.

Live Microphones

A live microphone is a microphone designed for use in real-time sound amplification during events like concerts, public speaking, or theatre performances. These microphones are built for durability to withstand the physical demands of live events, often featuring cardioid or supercardioid patterns to reject unwanted noise from the sides or rear. They are typically used to capture clear and focused sound, ensuring high-quality audio for both the performer and the audience, and are chosen based on their ability to handle varying sound levels and environmental conditions.

Mic

A mic is a common abbreviation for microphone, a device that converts sound waves into electrical signals for recording or amplification. Mics come in various types and designs—such as dynamic, condenser, ribbon, and lavalier—each suited to different applications, from live performances and studio recording to broadcasting and filmmaking. Choosing the right mic is essential for capturing clear, high-quality sound tailored to the specific environment and source.

Podcast

A podcast microphone is specifically designed for capturing high-quality audio for podcasts. These microphones are typically chosen for their clarity, durability, and ability to isolate the speaker’s voice from background noise. Popular types of microphones used for podcasting include dynamic microphones, which are less sensitive and are ideal for noisy environments, and condenser microphones, which are more sensitive and provide a richer, detailed sound for quieter recording spaces. Many podcast microphones also feature cardioid or supercardioid patterns to focus on the speaker’s voice while rejecting sounds from the sides and rear. Podcast microphones are often paired with additional accessories like pop filters, shock mounts, and boom arms to ensure clear, professional-sounding recordings.
