I hope this is helpful for your projects.
micro- phone type | acoustic sensitivity | mechanical robustness | best usage | misc notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
dynamic microphone | LOW (lazy mass of the induction coil has to be set in motion by the sound waves) | MEDIUM | uncontrollable conditions -> outdoor recording | |
condenser microphone | HIGH (thin condenser membran is very sensitive and easily bendable) | LOW (and very prone to humidity) | ideal results in controllable conditions -> studio recording | requires a power source (phantom power, +48V) |
electret condenser | MEDIUM | EXTREMLY HIGH | good for very rough conditions -> eg difficult tv reports) | requires no phantom power can be built very small ->"bug" |
Never knew that !
ReplyDeleteWoah, thanks for that classification. I honestly only thought there were 2 types of mics, Ones for recording, and ones for projecting.
ReplyDeleteMicrophones? Nifty stuff, I plan on doing some recording soon myself.
