Microphone Principle
A dynamic microphone is suitable for open-air performances, live broadcasts, music production, etc. It uses a magnet and a moving coil to capture sound.
A condenser microphone is primarily used for studio purposes. It has higher sensitivity and lower noise. It requires separate power.
Frequency Range
The frequency range indicates the span of frequencies that the microphone records. The wider the range, the more sounds it can capture.
Low frequencies (e.g., 20–200Hz): Bass, the deepest tones of instruments (double bass, kick drum) and male voices.
Mid frequencies (e.g., 200–3,000Hz): The body of instruments, the fundamental of the voice, where the ear is most sensitive, crucial for speech intelligibility.
High frequencies (e.g., 3,000–14,000Hz): Treble, details, sibilance, and the "sparkle" of the sound.
Air band (above 14,000Hz): Adds a sense of expensive, super-high-quality sound and space to recordings.
Sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity is the ratio of output voltage to acoustic pressure. It expresses how loud a signal the microphone produces at a given acoustic pressure; higher sensitivity means a stronger voltage and is suitable for quiet studios, while lower sensitivity is better for noisy environments as it amplifies less ambient noise unnecessarily.
