Dynamic Microphone
A type of microphone that works on the electric generator principle, such as Moving Coil and Ribbon mics. An acoustical sound wave impacts the microphone diaphragm which then moves an electrical conductor within a magnetic field to generate a current, the amplitude and polarity of which reflects the acoustic signal.
Dynamic Range
The amplitude range, usually expressed in decibels (dB), between the loudest signal that can be handled by a piece of equipment and the level at which small signals disappear into the noise floor. (See AES17)
Dynamics
A way of describing the relative levels within a piece of music.
