Dynamic Microphone

1st, it is not sensitive. Because the current generated by vibrating the permanent magnet is relatively small, it is more difficult to receive relatively small sounds, and the performance of high and low frequencies is not so ideal.

2nd, it can accept a fairly large sound signal. Because it is very insensitive, it is especially suitable for very loud volume, such as drum and guitar sounds.

3rd, it is very durable. Since it does not have a sophisticated electronic circuit, it is basically a medium that converts sound waves purely by physical movement, so if you accidentally drop it from the third floor, it may still be fine. (But don't do this deliberately, no one is responsible except yourself.)

4th, it is relatively cheap. Because of its own characteristics, it is low cost, simple and easy to use.

Condenser Mic

1st, it needs an external power supply, whether it is the built-in battery or the Phantom power on the mixer or pre-amp. Phantom power refers to an invisible power supply that is fed back into the microphone circuit. Think of it as a microphone socket.

2nd, it is very sensitive. Because the metal piece is very light, only a slight sound wave can make it vibrate. The reception performance for each frequency is quite good.

3rd, because it is very sensitive, please handle it with care. The particularly large audio capacity will damage it. Dropping it on the carpet accidentally may cause Irreparable  damage. So you see that these condensor mics are carefully stored in a moisture-proof box and are filled with sponge pads, while Dynamic mics are casually packed in leather cases and thrown around.

4th, it is relatively expensive. Because it has more precision parts and complicated manufacturing process, even a condenser microphone without any additional functions can be more expensive than a Dynamic microphone with lowered bass pickup.
