Dynamic Mics Vs Condensors

Re: Dynamic Mics Vs Condensors

Dynamic, usually....they tend pick up sounds in close proximity to them, much better for loud sound sources that are close to each other.
 
Re: Dynamic Mics Vs Condensors

Didn't you just post the feedback thread? Do you have a specific feedback/mic situation that is causing you issues?
 
Re: Dynamic Mics Vs Condensors

yes Binnerscot last week we performed in an auditorium and feed back was bad to the point that while playing lead i went back and started messing up with the PA ,so wanted to make sure this doesn't happen again
 
Re: Dynamic Mics Vs Condensors

Ahhhh....sorry to hear that, I posted an actual top list in your other thread of feedback issues I run into most commonly when running sound. 90% of feedback problems I have run into fall into those categories. Basically:

Good EQs and knowing how to use them and keeping the stage volume appropriate for the venue.
 
Re: Dynamic Mics Vs Condensors

Dynamic for everything but drum OH's is the norm (for live use).

+1. for most instruments in a live setting, dynamic mic's are the way to go for a number of reasons. they are more durable and can take more of a beating, they're less sensative (less succeptable to feedback), and they can typically handle higher SPL's than condensers.
 
Re: Dynamic Mics Vs Condensors

I finally figured out after decades of gigging that feedback problems are minimized if everyone uses the same brand/model mic.

A condenser is more accurate and is worth the trouble if someone has an incredibly beautiful voice; otherwize stick with dynamics outside of a controlled studio environment.
