Condenser Microphone FAQs


What is a condenser microphone, and how do they work?


The condenser microphone is a straightforward mechanical system with almost no moving parts compared to other microphone designs. It is also one of the oldest microphone types, dating back to the early 1900s. It is simply a thin, stretched conductive diaphragm held close to a metal disk called a back plate. This arrangement produces a capacitor, which is given its electric charge by an external voltage source. This source is often phantom power, but condenser mics often have dedicated power supply units. When sound pressure acts on the diaphragm, it vibrates slightly in response to the waveform. This causes the capacitance to vary in a like manner, which causes a variance in its output voltage. This voltage variation is the signal output of the microphone. There are many different types of condenser microphones, but they are all based on these basic principles.
