a condenser mic is more sensitive so needs to be more freely. a dynamic mic can be used for outdoor live bands, and a dynamic mic cannot it can be only used for recording vocals or high pitched sounds/ instruments

Can you use phantom power for a dynamic mic?

Phantom power won't hurt your dynamic mic, but it also won't help it. Turn off phantom power if you're using a dynamic mic. Only condenser microphones need phantom power.


Which part of the hearing aid creates an electric current?

The mic generates a small current.


How does microphones work?

A microphone is a device that converts acoustical pressure waves (or sound, which is mechanical energy) into electrical energy or signals. All microphones have a diaphragm, membrane, or other mechanical element in them that vibrates sympathetically in response to the arriving acoustic wave fronts. This mechanical element acts on the electrical element to generate electromagnetic energy (voltage). The actual mechanism used to make the conversion from mechanical energy to electrical energy will vary from mic to mic. Let's examine one kind.We see some microphones that have a diaphragm with a coil of wire attached to that diaphragm. Inside the coil is a stationary magnet. The sound energy moves the diaphragm, which moves the coil (with the stationary magnet inside it). The movement of the coil in the fixed magnetic field generates an electrical signal in the coil that "corresponds" to the sound that created it. The signal may then be sent via wires to an amplifier. There are other types of microphones, and for information on them, follow the link below.


One mole of nickel 6e23 atoms has a mass of 59 grams and its density is 8.9 grams per cubic centimeter-a rods 2.6 m long before 103 kg mass is hung from it and 1.31 cm longer after- K stiffness?

additionally... after the mass is removed you place the rod (cross section is square - .1 cm on a side) horizontally and strike one end with a hammer... how long before a mic and the other end with detect a disturbance?


Why do you need different types of microphones?

You need different types of microphones for different types of sound sources. For example, for a bass drum, you would need a microphone with the ability to catch low-frequency sound waves. For tom-toms or a snare drum, you need microphones that can pick up very loud (high SPL) sounds. For choirs, you need microphones with very large pick-up patterns. You need smaller microphones to be discreet. Vocal microphones onstage need to have excellent rear-rejection to help eliminate the risk of feedback from the mains or monitors.For live situations, omnidirectional microphones are not suitable because of the risk of feedback. Whereas with recording, different pick-up patterns can be more safely used.Most microphones (other than the Shure SM57 or similar mics) have a specific use that the mic is best suited for.

How do you use a dynamic microphone?

usually a dynamic microphone is used for live performances such as a rock band because its not as sensitive as a condenser mic which is used for recording.


What kind of microphone should i use to record acoustic guitar dynamic or condenser?

This depends entirely on your budget. Condenser mic can capture wide range of frequencies and thus it is recommendable.


Are dynamic mics good for vocal recording?

They aren't too bad. They're used mostly for a drum or amps but a good dynamic mic should work fine for vocal recording, but if you want great vocal recording, you will want to record with a condenser mic

What is the difference in thickness between a mic and mil?

a mic is 1/1000 of a mil, so it is 1000 times less thick


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.
