In this video, we dive into condenser microphones—highly sensitive mics ideal for capturing detailed and quiet sounds. Unlike dynamic mics, condenser mics require a power source (phantom power or battery) and are best suited for indoor use due to their sensitivity to temperature changes and handling. You’ll learn about their fragility, price range, and how they're used in applications like studio recording, news gathering, and Foley sessions. Plus, we touch on pickup patterns like unidirectional and omnidirectional.
