Re: OT: Microphone for Zoom R24 Digital Recorder

Thanks for the response(s).
 
This Sony looks interesting and is inexpensive-I may just pop for it. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear in my original post regarding my requirements. I am just looking for a microphone to capture live audio in a small space (i.e. living room) of my looping efforts with electric guitar, Handsonic HPD10 and some synth. I'd prefer running everything into my board/digital recorder but my secondary amp doesn't have a line out so it needs miked anyway (I'm still researching a solution to miking that amp).
 
Also, I'd like to just record some of my impromptu playing without a lot of preparation to record as normal (albeit the recording technique may not be optimal with external mikes). I have done this with the Zoom H4N with good results by placing the recorder between the two Peavy passive monitors (they're just sitting on the floor) used as output from my mixer with my guitar amp on one side. I'm hoping I can do the same with the Zoom R24.
 
Regards, Butch

Sony makes a really delightful small and inexpensive stereo microphone that, saliently, records
fairly flat across the timbral spectrum from 20 hz to 20,000 hz,  called the Sony ECM S907.

B+H has it here for a very reasonable $64 USD

If you use some of the freeware Convolution reverbs that are available these days and find yourself
some Impulse files of very, very expensive condenser microphones this makes this little
puppy a particularly effective and versatile little tool.

It is so small that I just velcro it to the top of my current Canon video camera.
It fits in one's pocket.

I think it's the best microphone deal in the universe considering how inexpensive it is.
