dynamic

This is a dynamic microphone. This is a dynamic microphone. These are also dynamic microphones.

Although these two are also ribbons. In fact, all of these are dynamic microphones. Wait, what?

That’s right. Because a dynamic microphone is just a speaker in reverse. And that’s what you’re hearing right now.

A speaker is just an electromagnet connected to a cone. Send some voltage into the magnet and we move the cone. Turns out the opposite is also true.

If you move the cone, you generate a little current because I’m sure someone’s gonna ask me if you can use a microphone as a speaker. Ooh, yeah, but don’t. The Beat Kitchen chorus where we talk about microphones and interfaces and speakers, that’s called the hardware and recording primer.

And if someone who belongs in it, share this post with them.
