A dynamic microphone is a type of microphone that converts sound waves into electrical signals using a diaphragm, a coil, and a magnet. When sound waves hit the diaphragm, it vibrates, causing the coil to move within the magnetic field. This movement generates an electrical current that corresponds to the sound, making dynamic microphones ideal for live performances and loud sound sources. These microphones are known for their durability and ability to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion. They are commonly used in various settings, including concerts, broadcasting, and recording studios, making them a popular choice among musicians and audio professionals.
