What are the differences between condenser microphones and dynamic microphones?

Dynamic, its sound quality is slightly better than other types, it can realistically reproduce human voice, and it is not easy to self-excite and howl with audio equipment in a high-volume environment, damaging the tweeter in the speaker. However, it is larger and less sensitive. Condenser, which can directly convert sound into electrical signals, has an extremely wide frequency response, ultra-high sensitivity, small size and light weight, and relatively lower sound fidelity than dynamic microphones.

Dynamic, offering slightly better sound quality than other types, capable of realistically reproducing human voices and less prone to self-oscillation and damage to tweeters in loud environments. However, they are larger and less sensitive. Condenser microphones directly convert sound into electrical signals, boasting an extremely wide frequency response, ultra-high sensitivity, smaller size, and lighter weight, but with relatively lower sound fidelity compared to dynamic microphones.
