Dynamic & Condensor

DYNAMIC


Dynamic microphones use an electrical current as well as a diaphragm. This makes the microphones less sensitive & more robust. This means if you dropped these microphones instead of hitting the floor & causing damage, they'd bounce back without any damage or scars.


CONDENSOR


Condensor microphones also operate using an electrical current but use a plate instead of  diaphragm. This makes the microphones more sensitive than a dynamic & is also allowed to pick up more sounds. These microphones are also more fragile meaning if dropped damage will be caused & it needs a power source, most probably a battery to work. They also use a XLR cable to send a 48 volt shot of electricity to the microphone, this is called phantom power.
