Do a dynamic mic an a condenser mic interfere?

no... and as far as interference with dynamics.... the coils and current (therefore the magnetic fields generated) are so small that I doubt you could hear the difference even if the mics were really close to each other.

You might be able to document it in a lab with gear designed to look for that.... but hear it... IDTS.

Dear forum people,

I realize that dynamic mics can interfere with each other as they have coils.

However, what's the situation for a dynamic and a condenser mic? Would they interfere in a similar, of other way? If so, how?

What about condenser mic to condenser mic?

Thanks for any replies.

Condensor mics won't be a problem, they don't have voice coils. They use a little tiny drum head type thing with an air gap that acts as a variable capasitor (the old timey name for capasitor was condensor, hense the name).

I have used dynamics side by side without any adverse effects.

Most of them have a nice metal shell and shielding so yeah,... that thought of that.  Now.. if you have a bad cable.... you might get a radio station.
