Condenser mics are more sensitive and capture a wider range of frequencies, making them suitable for recording vocals and acoustic instruments. Dynamic mics are more rugged and better at handling high sound pressure levels, making them ideal for live performances and recording loud sound sources like guitar amplifiers and drums.

What is the function of condenser microphone?

The one thing you need to know when using a condenser microphone rather than a dynamic mic is that the condenser needs something called phantom power. This is a small charge of 48v that powers the microphone. Thsi charge comes generally from the mixer, which is usually either a button on or by the channell inputs, or a switch by the power switch. Also if your mixer does not have phantom power, or you are trying to hook up the mic directly to something like a a computer. you can buy an external phantom power source. Usually some sort of box.
