Dynamic Microphones
Versatile and ideal for general-purpose use. Use a simple design with few moving parts. Sturdy and resilient to rough handling. Better suited to handling high volume levels, such as
from certain musical instruments or amplifiers. No internal amplifier and do not require batteries or
external power.

Monitor Speakers
Room acoustics very important Reference or ‘monitor’ speakers - tell it like it is’ i.e. give no
coloration from hardware eq. Speakers ar either ‘nearfield’ or ‘farfieild’
Nearfield are designed to sit near the listener at ear level or slightly above allowing listening without too much additional room sound
Farfield speakers are much bigger and more powerful speakers designed to be driven at higher volumes and to sit some way or behind the mixing desk.
Headphones - can be accurate way to monitor sound quality - but speakers considered best sound monitoring device
