Not so much if it's hum originating from the magnetic field a
transformer or lighting choke gives out, unless it uses a transformer in
the circuit somewhere.

Condenser mics tend to be more sensitive to things like cellphones or
two way radios, which are not a steady hum as described. They may, if
it's really close, pick up the discharge in a fluorescent tube.




Yeah, but was referring to the apparent preference for using dynamics in
the first place in that nasty room environment, apart from the hum thing.
