Guest Anonymous Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Subject line says all. I'm looking to record lectures. What's the best smallish mic I can get for less than $20 USD? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundpro Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Hello: I don't know if you will find any decent mic under $20, but we have one that is close: http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/...MM-1&type=store Hope that helps!

BJ Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 If you don't mind a little work, check the plans at http://www.minidisc.org/in_ear_mics.html for a mic that works quite well. I made one and field tested it at a spoken word event, and it performed wonderfully! I was able to get the microphone elements at Radio Shack for about $2 apiece and a set of cheapo ear buds at a local dollar store (for $1.....um, yeah). 10 minutes of soldering (and I am no professional) and I was done. If you're just looking to record lectures, try the plans at http://www.atempo.dk/mic/ with that Radio Shack element. I bet it'll work very well for you, and for under $5--can't beat that.

Guest Anonymous Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 i know some people would cringe at the thought, but just use your headphones if you are going to record lectures. I use mine to record my band practices and besides the bass it sounds pretty good. I use a pair of clip ons from sony w.ear Headphones MDR-Q33LP/S http://www.sonystyle.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
