What are the 3 main types of microphones?

1. Dynamic Microphones: Most used microphones. Common for live mics and for drums as well as other loud sources.2. Condenser Microphones: Popular for recording. They require an external power source that most mixers have built in (Phantom, 48v)3. Ribbon Microphones: Least used. For the studio. Very expensive and fragile. Produces a distinctive sound.


Can you use phantom power for a dynamic mic?

Phantom power won't hurt your dynamic mic, but it also won't help it. Turn off phantom power if you're using a dynamic mic. Only condenser microphones need phantom power.


Why wont your microphone make noise?

Microphones are connected to input devices that read the voltage from them and hence are not driven to make noise. If you connect a power source to a magnetic or crystal microphone you can get some noise but not much. The speaker is very small and not designed for produciing sound Many microphones are dynamic and use capacitance. Hence you can not drive them like a magnetic microphone. Note: you can use a speaker as a microphone.


What is phantom power and what are its uses?

Phantom power is 48VDC power applied by a mixer or preamp or other piece of gear to power a condenser microphone or Direct Inject (DI) box attached to it. It can coexist with the microphone signal, and dynamic microphones generally will ignore it and not be hurt by it.

Do usb condenser microphones need phantom power?

Unless they have a battery built in, if it's a pro condenser microphone with an XLR cable and it doesn't have a special funky power supply just for it, turn on the 48V phantom power. It won't work otherwise. Dynamic mics will ignore phantom power generally.


Why are rocks better than computers?

Which microphones are compatible with Windows XP?

Any microphone with a 3.5 mm (1/4") jack that doesn't require any phantom power can be connected to the computer Microphone In jack. Also, some USB recording microphones may be compatible, depending on your computers hardware and software configurations. If an external audio interface, such as the M-Audio Fast Track Pro, will be used most XLR microphones, including those requiring phantom power, will be compatible.


What are the differences between ac servomotor and dc servomotors?

AC servomotors require an alternating current as a power source, meaning they need to be plugged into an outlet, while DC servomotors require a direct current as a power source, meaning they can be run off of battery power.
