Microphone Principle
A dynamic microphone is suitable for outdoor performances, live broadcasts, music production, etc. It uses a magnet and a moving coil to capture sound.
A condenser microphone is mainly used for studio purposes. It has higher sensitivity and lower noise. It needs to be powered separately.
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 notes of instruments (double bass, kick drum) and male voices.
Mid-range frequencies (e.g. 200–3,000Hz): The body of instruments, the fundamental of the voice, where the ear is most sensitive, important for speech intelligibility.
High frequencies (e.g. 3,000–14,000Hz): Treble, details, sibilance, and the 'sheen' of the sound.
'Air' band (above 14,000Hz): Gives recordings a sense of expensive, super-high-quality sound and space.
Sensitivity
The microphone's sensitivity is the ratio of the output voltage to the sound pressure. It expresses how loud a signal the microphone produces at a given sound 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 unwanted ambient noise.
