Condenser microphones are one of the most popular microphone choices for studio and
home recording applications because of their sensitivity and fidelity.
In general, a condenser microphone will provide a wider frequency response range than their
dynamic microphone cousins, but will have a lower input sensitivity.
In other words, they will pick up more of the input signal faster and are much clearer
in comparison to dynamics.
This means that most condenser microphones are better suited for quieter environments,
such as a studio or at home.
They are more balanced, accurate, and “sweeter” than their powerful counterparts.
This makes them perfect for softer and brighter sounds.
