Condenser microphone
Condenser microphone – also sometimes referred to as a capacitor microphone, these microphones measure the capacitance between two charged plates to gain their signal. This signal is typically very small, so condenser microphones require a pre-amplifier to give this signal a boost prior to its going to any inputs. Condenser microphones therefore require a power source. This may be from a built-in battery, but more often it is from phantom power, a voltage from the mixing desk that flows down the microphone cable. Condenser microphones are of a consistently high quality with a very wide frequency response and are excellent for studio use, however, they can be fragile and are therefore not generally particularly suited to live sound applications.
