Foot Notes
What is a condenser microphone
A condenser microphone is a good choice for recording vocals in a studio environment. In a live setting, a condenser microphone may be used, but keep in mind that it is much more sensitive than a dynamic microphone and may pick up undesired sound from other noise in the room. A condenser microphone is not the best choice for recording louder instruments or amplified instruments, as the louder frequencies passing through the microphone tend to cause unwanted distortion.
