The difference is in the way they capture
sound waves. As far as the user is concerned, the main difference
is that the condenser mic needs power - either from within the
mic or from an external source (called 'phantom power'). The
external source can be a stand alone phantom power unit or, more
typically, from a mixer. All of our mixers supply phantom power
for condenser mics. On a more general point, condenser mics tend
to be more sensitive and pick up high frequencies better, whereas
the dynamics tend to be more rugged. |
