Rugged, durable, and built to handle tough conditions – handheld dynamic microphones are the number one choice for on-stage performance and easy, straightforward operation. What are the characteristics of a dynamic microphone? Pressurized sound waves cause vibrations that are picked up by a diaphragm and voice coil that are enclosed in the microphone’s capsule. Surrounded by a magnetic field, the corresponding electric signal that is generated is then relayed to a speaker or interface.

Position your mic on a microphone stand and use an XLR cable to plug a dynamic microphone into the Mixer portion of your live sound setup or directly into a standalone PA System. Do dynamic mics need power? Nope, an external phantom power source is not required.

What is the most common example of a Handheld Dynamic Microphone? Let’s start with the Shure SM58 Vocal Microphone – a mainstay in practically every studio and venue. If you’re looking to get started with handheld dynamic microphones, this vocal mic is the perfect place to start. For speech and numerous music applications, the Shure SM7B Dynamic Vocal Microphone and the Electro-Voice RE20 Dynamic Microphone are two of the most popular mics in use today. When you listen to interviews or watch your favorite podcasters, streamers, and social media personalities, you’ll often will see these mics in action! American Musical Supply is stocked with a wide range of dynamic mic models of different shapes, sizes, and polar patterns that offer a variety of tonal characteristics.

What are some extra ways to get the most out of a Dynamic Microphone? The popular Cloudlifter Microphone Activators from Cloud Microphones add up to 25dB of clean, transparent gain to your signal path. If you’re looking to add extra volume or maintain consistent signal strength over a much longer cable run, a Cloudlifter is a must-have for your gear bag.

For recording projects, a Mic Preamp is another important tool that adds varying amounting of presence, saturation, gain, and EQ to your mic’s signal, especially those from a dynamic microphone. American Musical Supply is stocked with preamps of all kinds - solid-state, tube-driven, portable, or hand-built professional studio rackmount unit of the highest quality.
