Computer Microphone

[thejimbo]

Looking to get a mic, not a headset just the mic as I have speakers. Don't really know a lot about mics so any help will be useful. Ideally I'd like to stick it to the side of my machine or a wall as desk space it at a premium.

The minidisc forum has a load of info on mics, but they're mostly aimed at live music recording. Still, worth a read to get the basics.

you can pick up simple stereo lapel ones off ebay for a few pounds. what kind of mic were you looking for / using it for?

Thanks, is a mic like that going to provide a decent clear sound?

I think for your needs it should be ok, I looked for one that talked about Noise Cancellation. This model has it, is cheap and Logitech are a good brand

If you got some extra cash then there are models up from the one I posted.
