If you’re an audio professional or simply enjoy creative pursuits in your free time, chances are you’ll need to use a dynamic microphone at some point to record your tracks. A dynamic microphone differs from other mics because it converts sound waves into electrical signals via a moving coil.
The microphone consists of a diaphragm, a coil of wire, and a magnet. When sound waves reach the diaphragm, they make it vibrate. This vibration causes the coil of wire to move, which then creates an electrical current.
You can then amplify the electrical signal and send it to a sound system or recording device.
What Are the Most Common Uses for Dynamic Microphones?
Dynamic microphones are commonly used in live sound reinforcement and recording applications. They’re more durable than other types of microphones, and they’re relatively feedback-resistant.
If you want to amplify or record vocals, drums, and other instruments, you should consider using a dynamic microphone. That’s because they provide a good balance of high and low frequencies, which produces accurate and distortion-free sound.
Different Polar Patterns in Dynamic Mics
Dynamic microphones come in a few different polar patterns. Each polar pattern has its own specific uses and benefits.
Cardioid
Cardioid polar patterns are sensitive to noise coming directly from the front of the microphone. They’re useful for capturing audio while eliminating most background noise. They also help separate audio from individual performers because they’re so directional.
Hypercardioid and Supercardioid
Hypercardioid and supercardioid polar patterns are similar to each other, with a few small differences. Both are more sensitive than cardioid microphones when capturing sounds coming from the front. They’re also better at eliminating sounds from the sides of the microphone. This feature comes in handy when you want to isolate the sound of a voice or instrument.
Both supercardioid and hypercardioid microphones also capture some audio from the rear center of the microphone. This is useful for picking up some room sound, which adds depth.
When using either of these microphones, make sure to speak, sing, or play directly into the front of the microphone for the best audio capture.
Omnidirectional
Omnidirectional microphones capture audio from all sides of the microphone. They’re ideal for recording ambient sounds, such as rain sounds, an audience, or multiple vocalists in a chorus. Because they record from all sides, they’re more sensitive to background noise.
Audio Kits Featuring Dynamic Microphones
If you’re new to audio recording, investing in a dynamic microphone kit or bundle is a smart way to get all the accessories you need while guaranteeing compatibility. Look for kits with one or more microphones, mounts, filters, and cords for out-of-the-box functionality.
