How a Dynamic Microphone Works

Dynamic microphones are commonly used because they are inexpensive, robust, and can have a high gain before feedback. Dynamic microphones work using a diaphragm attached to a small induction coil that is placed within a magnetic field. When the diaphragm vibrates from the sound waves entering the microphone, the movement of the induction coil through the magnetic field creates a varying current, or electrical signal, that can then be sent to any compatible electronic device.
