Dynamic Vs. Condenser Microphone - Which is best for Streaming?

Hey folks, in this video I take on the debate Dynamic Vs. Condenser Microphone - Which is best for Streaming? While at the same time settling an argument with my buddy Rich and Rob. Enjoy!

Making a whole ass youtube video to prove a point to a homie is next-level alpha.

Loved how concise and clear this video was. Great content!

[AmateurContendr]

Loved how straightforward and informative this was. I was surprised when the video ended after all that needed to be said was said, rather than anyone rambling on for 15-30 minutes to get the same stuff across.

Very well done! So much information condensed dynamically into just 5 minutes video.

Wow, I didn't realize there were different types of microphones, thanks so much for this!!

Wow videos like this are harder to find on YT these days. Straight to the point, informative, brief. No super long intro with product placement or preambles etc.
Much appreciated!!

Just a quick advice from me who's a broadcast engineer who works in radio and tv station to anyone who wants to buy a mic for streaming or making music and songs, get a dynamic microphone rather than condenser specially if you have an open space with lots of noises going on and specially if your PC is next to your mic
I get amazed when people recommend condenser mics for streamers.
you use condenser mics if you're doing a podcasting with just one mic available, like put it in the middle of the table for example and chat with the person in front of you, and it must be a closed area with no outside noises, no AC noises, no fan noises, not even a pc with watercooling noises.. and if you get close to it and talk like you do with dynamic mics you will hear your breath even if you put filters on it .. and when you want to remove it by using EQs you will cut some of frequencies and lose so many sound that you might need, the quality will be horrible ..

for streaming, making music, podcasting alone use dynamic for sure, dynamic has better quality and doesn't catch any background noises such as fans, ACs, birds, even if people chatting in the background
but with condenser mic you will catch every single sound

most of the streamer i see them buying condenser mics and then use EQ to turn it into dynamic.. just why?! lol

I saw dozens of video about dynamic and condenser mics and this one was the best explanation and demonstration for me.

[SteffenThole]

Pretty much the best dynamic vs condenser video on YouTube, especially (but not only) when you're looking for some info about mics and spoken word.

[RadmobileGaming]

The proximity effect happens for dynamic and condenser microphones due to their polar patterns, not do to their microphone type. I agree with your other points and always recommend dynamic microphones for streaming/gaming/podcasting.

Great video mate - but to ad on, I think if you are a home musician a dynamic mic could be the better choice too, because it picks up less reverb and room noise. Like the Se V7 is imo in the 100 money range a great sounding mic and can get you some pretty good and clean vocals in a horrible room

[Pangvlog]

Straight forward and informative!
Thanks!

Top search result for "dynamic microphone for streaming"; straight to the point but with enough information and demonstrations to tell me exactly what I needed to know. Great video!

[andrewlawson]

Excellent video mate - thanks! I've learned more in 5 minutes than all the hours on and off in bits of other videos. And the A vs B set up on the left and right - awesome!

Thanks for keeping video to the point. After wasting so much time I am glad I came across your video, Once again thanks for saving my time.

[susibriggs]

Thank you. I am completely new to this technology. This has to be the best video I have seen about this subject. My work has altered and I find myself getting more and more audio commissions for stories. I need to find something that will suit my needs. Currently using a condensor and i am at home. My audio files keep getting rejected to do over because of some noise interference on the file. I do not have a home studio. Yep...looks like I am gonna have to invest in a dynamic microphone.
You have answered my dilemma clearly.

[robprince]

Thanks for making me this video, it was very helpful.

[Trevih]

Just the video I been looking for. Thank you Kenny! Everything else was so technical and this just knocks it out short and sweet. Thanks a million!

[itsWISHY]

This was a really good comparison. Thank you!

Noise rejection depends on the polar pattern, not mic type. Figure 8 and cardioid pattern mics will both exhibit the proximity effect.
