The other type of popular microphone type is a condenser.
If you like the idea of a dynamic mic and want something a little higher up on the spectrum, the Telefunken M80 Dynamic microphone is another great pick-in fact, it’s the microphone of choice for our executive editor Chris Thomas. Most people recommend the Shure SM58, as it’s a pretty tough and versatile microphone that works well whether you’re on location or recording at your desk. They’re not exactly rugged, but for the most part they can take a beating without getting completely destroyed. These are also great for all of these environments because the magnets and coil inside of dynamic mics are a little more durable compared to other microphones. The grille is easy to remove and replace if it becomes damaged.
