Condenser and Dynamic Mics

Dynamic Microphones operate with which principle?

• Electromagnetic

• Electrostatic

Condenser Microphones operate with which principle?

• Electromagnetic

• Electrostatic

Condenser Microphones operate using a diaphragm that is attached to a coil of wire

• True

• False

Dynamic microphones do not require a power source to run

• True

• False

Dynamic Microphones are used for recording instruments with high frequencies and harmonics

• True

• False

Which polar response pattern does a Dynamic Mic have?

• Figure-8

• Shotgun

• Hyper-Cardioid

• Cardioid

Condenser microphones operate using a charged metal plate to generate sound

• True

• False

Within condenser microphones exist two charged metal plates, one fixed and one moveable. Which is fixed?

• Backplate

• Diaphgram

• Coil

• Magnet

When the sound wave hits the diaphragm, the distance between the two plates changes which produces a change in the electrical characteristic. What is this known as?

• Velocity Sensitive

• Capacitance

• Proximity Effect

• Inverse Square Law

Condenser microphones do not require a power source to run

• True

• False
