What is the difference in sound between a dynamic microphone and a condenser mic?
I know that condenser mics are powered, what I'd like to know is what the sound difference is? I'm also wondering about gain and feedback. Do you need less gain with a dynamic mic and does it cause more or less feedback. I run some karaoke shows and can't seem to keep my singers from stepping in front of the speakers. I need a solution.
Dynamic mics tend to be a bit less prone to feedback. Condenser mics tend to be a bit more "full" sounding and more "crisp". I personally would not use an expensive condenser mic for karaoke. Cheap dynamic mics will work fine and last a long time - dynamic mics are more durable too.
There is no magic wand to stop feedback - the mic user needs to "sing" VERY close to the mic and really needs to project. If they do both those things, you can turn the volume down on that mic channel which will keep you away from feedback. You should have the speaker forward of the mics if at all possible and keep the singers away from the speakers.
