The biggest difference between most dynamics and condenser mics is level. Dynamics produce roughly 1 to 5 mV output. Condensers produce 5 to 20 mV. If you use the same preamp with both, you're at a different gain point. In some cases that sounds like a different preamp.
Nobody ever considers the slight compression that occurs when feeding preamps with much higher levels.
Provided you could find a dynamic with a similar pattern, mics would behave mostly the same.
Since you can't find comparable mics in both camps, the "truth" stands. In practice. In theory, it's not really a "truth". That's why G-Sun's example is quite right. It's not black and white; but a spectrum of gray in between.
The OP is looking at both a dynamic and a condenser. Let's leave tech out of the equation. The questions I have are:
- Whats the preamp/audio interface?
- Any samples of your voice anywhere?
Without those answered, it's like spitting against the wind...
