The main disadvantage of the dynamic microphone is that it daes not satisfactorily reproduce certain voices. With some announcers, the microphone exaggerates plosives (popping on P) and sibilance ( hissing on S ). Dynamic microphone also can lose some light, delicate sounds, because the mass of the diaphragm requires a fairly high sound level to move it. Even though the dynamic microphone is fairly rugged, all microphones are fragile to some extent and should be handled with care like any other piece of audio production equipment.
