How do MICs work?
A microphone converts sound into a small electrical current. Sound waves hit a diaphragm that vibrates, moving a magnet near a coil. In some designs, the coil moves within a magnet. Other microphones, such as condenser microphones, work on the principle of capacitance.
How much is a mic?
So without further ado, the price ranges of common microphone types:

How many types of mics are there?
Each of the three primary types of microphones—dynamic microphones, condenser microphones, and ribbon microphones—has a different method for converting sound into electrical signals.
Do microphones need speakers?
Although microphones do not require loudspeakers or headphones to function (and vice versa), these audio devices often work together.
Can a microphone work without an amplifier?
Passive loudspeakers: passive loudspeakers do not have amplifiers and therefore cannot apply any gain to the mic level signal. A mic level signal is far too weak to drive a speaker. Active microphones: active microphones require some sort of power in order to function (typically DC bias or phantom power).
