Any suggestions for a good cheap mike?
« on: March 18, 2020, 01:45:27 pm »
Looking for a cheap microphone, maybe 40 bucks or less, a friend needs something better than their webcam microphone for remote meetings, but doesn't need anything like a fancy condenser mike or anything phantom power. It just needs to be cheap and be better than a pinhole mike. USB or for a reasonable sound card mike in.
I forget who I am sometimes, but then I remember that it's probably not worth remembering.

Dave recently did a video on this on his second channel:



But he was looking for a mic available in Australia.  For the US, I'd suggest you contact Chris Gammell to see what mic he supplies to Amp Hour guests in the US.  I don't know about $40, but I wouldn't think it would be too much more than that.    Or maybe someone here (Dave?) knows which one it is and how it connects to the PC.

Around thirty bucks: BOYA MM1


   If three 100  Ohm resistors are connected in parallel, and in series with a 200 Ohm resistor, how many resistors do you have?
