 The difference between dynamic and condenser microphones is that dynamic mics use a diaphragm, voice coil, and magnet to pick up sound waves and convert them into electrical signals. Whereas condenser mics use an electrically-charged diaphragm, which vibrates, and an electrical signal is generated proportional to the sound/vibration.  Microphone directionality is the direction from which a microphone gets its sound. Some microphones can only pick up sound from one direction, while others can pick up sound from all directions. The lavalier microphone is ideal for recording audios like dialogues because of its proximity to the speaker's mouth and the signal-to-noise ratio is optimized. It is also convenient due to its size and the fact that it can be attached to the speaker's clothing.   A shotgun microphone is helpful in capturing sounds that come from a distance as they have a long reach and a narrow pickup pattern.  Dynamic microphones are capable of handling ...
