Condensor mics are technically capacitors?
I heard somewhere that "condenser" mics is an outdated term, and that such mics are technically capacitors because they have the capacity to store electrons.

Is this correct? Could someone give a brief explanation/history of why "condenser" was used?

Capacitor is the more technically "correct" term when the discussion is about electronics.

See condenser vs, capacitor
