Understanding Dynamic Microphones

Which component of a dynamic microphone is responsible for detecting sound waves ?

• Diaphragm

• Magnet

• Coil

• Capsule

What is the primary function of the coil in a dynamic microphone?

• To capture sound waves

• To generate a magnetic field

• To convert mechanical vibrations into electrical signals

• To amplify the sound

In a dynamic microphone, what role does the magnet play?

• It captures sound waves

• It creates a magnetic field that interacts with the coil

• It amplifies the electrical signal

• It filters out background noise

How does a dynamic microphone convert sound waves into electrical signals?

• By using a battery to power the conversion

• By using a diaphragm, coil, and magnet to generate an electrical current

• By using a digital processor

• By using a laser to detect sound waves

What is the typical frequency response range of a dynamic microphone?

• 20 Hz to 20 kHz

• 50 Hz to 15 kHz

• 100 Hz to 10 kHz

• 200 Hz to 5 kHz

Which of the following best describes the frequency response characteristic of a dynamic microphone?

• Flat and neutral

• Boosted in the high frequencies

• Boosted in the low frequencies

• Variable depending on the model

Why are dynamic microphones often preferred for live performances?

• They are more sensitive to quiet sounds

• They are more durable and can handle high sound pressure levels

• They have a wider frequency response

• They require an external power source

What is the typical weight of a handheld dynamic microphone?

• 200 grams

• 1 pound

• 2 ounces

• 500 grams

Which part of the dynamic microphone is most directly responsible for its durability?

• The diaphragm

• The coil

• The magnet

• The casing

What is the main advantage of a dynamic microphone's frequency response for vocal performances?

• It captures a wide range of frequencies

• It emphasises mid-range frequencies, which are important for vocals

• It reduces background noise

• It requires less power
