Techie-ish question. When I record my harp playing with my phone camera, I always have to do some work on the audio part of the recording so I can actually hear it. I have a USB microphone but that is for very short range only, I need to have it on my knee near the harp for it to do work. (Samsom Meteor.)
Does anyone here use a separate (USB) microphone for recording the sound of their harp, guitar, cello etc, and if yes; which one?

People who participate in online meetings using platforms like Zoom may want to pay closer attention to how their computer microphone alters the sound of their voice.
That's because high-quality audio can make the speaker seem more attractive and convincing to others, according to results published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. @npr reports:

My M4 Pro #MacBook Pro #computer setup just got a big #audio boost -- a new audio interface and condenser #microphone plus closed-back headphones. And I also added Sennheiser HD660S2 open-back #headphones (I'm always in search of somewhat-affordable audio #nirvana). Anyway, the Focusrite #Scarlett 2i2 #Studio #bundle looks like a keeper. https://www.cultofmac.com/setups/focusrite-scarlett-2i2
A #news #reporter from #Britain 's #ITV News (ITN) uses a #Coles4104 #microphone whilst reporting from a #RoyalNavy #helicopter observing a convoy of #Russian #ships in the #EnglishChannel - this looks more like a scene from a 1940s documentary than the 21st century #UK #military #defence #WW3warning
#FAWM - It's that time of the year again when I feel like a 6 year old who can't decide what toys to take with him to the beach. And who takes them all...
Patrick Smith, happy to be coming to Omega!
A quick photo to compare the Sennheiser e906 with the Subzero SZM-GD100
As you can see the SZ is chonky compared. Its also about a 3rd longer. No idea why it comes with a shock mount. It is a dynamic mic. The capsule inside is also massive compared to the e906.
The SZ also needs a ton less gain. Its not going to handle really loud speakers.

@adingbatponder needs a good microphone/headset (via @sam)
Q5. Anyone know of a reliable #microphone and how to use it for #telephoning with decent sound on a smartphone while #cycling ?
I can #telephone in the car fine but on #bike I have to abort most calls. Is there a trick I can use to have decent sound without wind and clothes rubbing mic, background noise, etc?
Do I have to wear a #motorcycle #helmet for the #soundquality?
Thanks for any tips!
John Jennings, co-founder and president of #Royer Labs, was one of our guest speakers in class yesterday. Here he is holding up the original prototype #R121 ribbon #microphone. He played us lots of audio demos, told us about the many joys and pitfalls of ribbon microphones, shared stories from his career and funny quotes from David Royer. Super nice, friendly guy who is very passionate about transparent audio recording.

There is no “#context” for performing #fellatio on a #microphone. He’s gone #batty. The only remaining #question is whether enough #voters #recognize the #fact.

The reason why I'm looking for a good #Microphone is because i want to do more streaming and while I do like the one I have now, it doesn't have a mute button and is older, and I'm all about sound quality, and if it sounds more professional, i'm all for it. #Technology #Blind
Does anyone have #vintage #microphone experience?
I have a Pearl EK-71 miniature condenser microphone made in Sweden.
It has a permanently attached cable with a connector the schematic calls a "3 pin male Type K-50" that looks like XLR but smaller. I'm wondering if anyone knows of an adapter maybe to XLR to hook it up to modern equipment?
The company that manufactured it has schematics on their website https://www.milabmic.com/download/ in the Historic Models section.
