dynamic mic
Vocalist's handheld pickup
A dynamic mic is a microphone that converts sound into electrical signals through a moving coil attached to a diaphragm.
Dynamic mics are rugged, handle high volumes well, and need no external power, making them staples of live performance and broadcasting: The singer grabbed the dynamic mic off the stand.
Compare with condenser mics, which are more sensitive but more fragile.
