Q+A: How Do Dynamic Microphones Work?

With reference to the diagram below a dynamic microphone has a thin diaphragm attached to a coil of wire, which in turn is surrounding a magnet. When sound waves vibrate the diaphragm this vibrates the coil and the difference on the magnet translate to current in the wire and then goes to an external device or speaker. The speed of vibration determines the current and the resulting sound.



Dynamic microphones are generally used for live events such as concerts. This is due to the fact unlike the condenser microphone, it has a low sensitivity and can handle a lot louder environments.

Any questions or feel i have missed anything please comment below,

Thanks
