PC Microphones

[Stewart C. Russell]

You can get excellent quality from a cheap mic. Dan Snaith (Caribou/Manitoba) used to use one of those $5 computer mics to record his studio albums. So what's your budget?

There are a bunch of podcasting mics that will work. What costs money is audio shielding (for pops and clicks) and noise management. You can avoid much of the noise problems and mic power by using a USB mic. 

Pretty much every microphone you'll buy will have the tiny Panasonic modules you can buy for a few cents each. The testing, matching, wiring and casing is what costs money. 

There's a local guy who constructs nice kit at good prices. Find him as CHURCH AUDIO on eBay. You'll know if you've found him as everything he writes is in all caps

Cheers
