Searching for a good and unexpensive Handmic

[josch0815]

Just got into recording, and just to get into it, bought, the cheapest mic I could find.

Works not too bad, but the noise is quite loud, and the bass sounds get totally smashed.

I whould like to find an unexpensive (less tan 50€ if possible) handheld mic, for interviewing, and some little singing for my travels.

Any ideas?

is the right mic out there?????

Everything is so expensive in Europe I can't really offer you a suggestion on a handheld. However, Greenmachine's little omni mics with clips could be clipped to something and held in your hand, or clipped to the shirt collar of someone you interview, and they are both hi-fi and within your budget.

Ask for the MDCF discount!

I'm in the UK and use Yoga mics (electret omni tiepin types at about £10 each - a pair for dummy head stereo) from Maplins for most of my recordings. I haven't noticed any noise problems so far, even when I raise the level on quiet recordings. (NH900 & RH10 recorders) I'm not claiming that Yoga are in the same league as the professional kit, but I'm sure they'll be fine for starters.
