Sure you can buy a PC microphone for a few dollars, but will it sound good? Even the least expensive computer comes with electronics that is capable of accurately capturing good quality audio. The microphone is the weak link.
If you want to record good quality audio, for a podcast, or your kid’s piano recital, or a concert – you need good microphones. How do you find them?
One approach is to buy them from a company known for making good quality microphones – like Shure, whose new PG27USB and PG42USB mics are being announced at CES this week. Or you can use your existing microphone with their new X2u USB signal adapter, that converts a standard XLR connector to a USB signal.
