I just bought a mz-rh10 and need a mic for it for concerts. I dont really know anything about the mic or any of this stuff. And i got no clue what this stuff cost. But can anyone give me a run down on mics and give me a few specific suggestions for what to get. I'm not looking for anything professional...just something that can start me off as i learn more about this stuff. Thanks alot

As often stated in this topic:

Best newbie mic, if you're in the US, is the Sound Professionals BMC-2.

Get them with clips so you can clip them to a hat, shirt collar, etc.

They are the size of pencil erasers, they pick up the full frequency range (20-20,000K) and they are very stealthy. What they pick up sounds surprisingly close to what you heard.

If you're recording amplified music with them you will need either an attenuator--the Radio Shack Headphone Volume Control

or a battery box from Sound Professionals or Microphone Madness.

Please don't get Sony's designated microphones for minidisc (like DSP-70) , which are bigger, introduce more noise and have lousy bass response. These are far better, and they cost less.
