condenser mic
Sensitive recording device
A condenser mic is a microphone that uses a capacitor (historically called a condenser) to convert sound into electrical signal.
Condenser mics are more sensitive and accurate than dynamic mics, making them preferred for studio recording, but they require external power and are more fragile: We used a condenser mic for the vocal tracks.
