Hi guys, I have 2 questions about building a dynamic microphone myself. 1. Are the ali express microphone capsules suitable for everything or what do I have to pay special attention to? 2. how do you find the right transformer for the microphone capsule? The microphone would only be used for the voice and the whole thing is a school project and I would appreciate any tips, no matter how small. ^^ I would also be happy if you could refer me to other forums or entries or directly recommend components for the microphone.

Welcome! The capsules you mention are most likely based on Sure’s sm57 and sm58. There are many DIY schematics based on these two models and I would suggest reviewing them.
For voice the SM58 is probably your best bet.
Do keep us posted.

Have a look at Lauri’s endeavours: https://www.youtube.com/@LAURISDIYCHANNELTV
He makes several microphones, some with and some without a transformer.

I’ve seen the video and it’s a really cool project, but my plan is still a dynamic microphone.
