If you are recording, you definitely do not want a mic designed for

Definitely sub £100.



OK. Behringer is a good manufacturer for everything. I would go for a
pair of C-1 mics. They are decent cardioids, and Dolphin Music are
doing them at £28.95. They are condensors, so they need phantom power.
If you don't have that available, get yourself a small mixer. The
Behringer UB802 with four mic inputs will set you back about £45. That
is the basis of some really very high quality recording capability for
£100.

That do?


OK....that'll do nicely. Actually, I was reading C- 1 reviews just before I
read your message. They were mainly positive as to sound transparency
although some were not 100% sure about build quality/robustness. But hey, we
are not planning to go on tour and chuck stuff about. Also, one review
mentioned a noise issue, are you aware of this ?

The Roland capture unit I already have will do 48 volt phantom power and has
two XLR inputs.
