What does 'polar pattern' refer to in dynamic microphones?

It describes the microphone's sensitivity to sound from different directions; common patterns include cardioid (front) and omnidirectional (all around).

Why is 'handling noise' a concern with dynamic mics?

Vibrations transmitted through the microphone stand or performer’s hand can create unwanted rumble and noise in the recording.

What is the 'proximity effect' and how does it impact recordings?

It’s a bass boost that occurs when a sound source is very close to the microphone; it can add warmth but also muddy the low end.
