Dynamic microphones use a moving-coil or related robust capsule design and are often chosen for live sound, broadcast, drums, guitar cabinets, vocals and loud sources. They generally tolerate handling and high sound-pressure levels well, while many need more preamp gain than a sensitive condenser. Compare polar pattern, proximity effect, off-axis behaviour, grille and mounting, plus the available gain and noise performance of the interface or mixer. A dynamic microphone can be a focused close-range tool, but the model’s response and placement determine whether it suits speech, stage or instrument work.
Cardioid describes a front-focused pickup pattern with useful rejection toward the rear. Placement, room reflections and the model’s off-axis response still affect the result.
