![]() ![]() Ribbon microphones suspend a conductive “ribbon” element between two magnetic poles. Vocals, guitars, strings, and pianos, all benefit from the clarity condensers provide. Furthermore, some are switchable from cardioid to figure 8 to Omni. Condensers come in a vast array of polar patterns. Large diaphragm condensers are considered full range, use them to capture sources spanning the entire frequency spectrum. Small diaphragm condensers have a frequency response focusing on upper midrange and trebles. The diaphragm itself comes in different sizes. Others forego tubes, and transformers further pushing the clarity envelope.Ĭondensers are used on any source needing pristine focus, and accurate representation. So much so that some use tube power circuits, in place of phantom power to add missing character and warmth. This design creates a microphone that is extremely detailed and clear. Altering this distance affects the voltage or signal carried to your preamp. Sound waves excite the plates, changing the distance between them. You will also find them in front of guitar and bass cabinets as well.Ĭondensers suspend a very thin material or diaphragm in two plates. Most close drum microphones are dynamics. Place them in front of loud sources, and percussive elements. Dynamics are typically cardioid microphones and capture sound from the front. Additionally, they may not have the character that ribbons offer. ![]() Consequently, a trade-off of this strength is a loss in clarity. The diaphragm attaches to the coil and moves the coil in relation to the magnet. Dynamic microphones employ a coil of wire, magnet, and a thin diaphragm. ![]()
