[Le microphone dynamique] est en fait un haut-parleur inversé. Un diaphragme léger, solidaire d’une bobine mobile dans un champ magnétique uniforme, est soumis à des vibrations qui engendrent un courant proportionnel aux déplacements de la bobine mobile. Ces microphones, assez peu fragiles et d’excellente qualité, sont en fait les plus fragiles et d’excellente qualité, sont en fait les plus nombreux. Ils sont utilisés en reportage et en studio(musique et parole). Ils sont peu sensibles à l'humidité. 5, record 2, French, - microphone%20%C3%A0%20bobine%20mobile
