Definition

A condenser microphone is a type of microphone that uses a capacitor to convert sound waves into an electrical signal, producing a highly sensitive and detailed audio capture. Condenser mics require phantom power (typically 48V) and excel at capturing nuanced vocal performances in acoustically treated environments. They are popular for voiceover work, studio recording, and creators with soundproofed setups.
