Need A Microphone

Go to solution Solved by ALwin,

It would probably be to an external recorder or a phone or something. I would rarely use it for a computer but it would be a nice feature to have all if possible

 

As close to your budget I can get.

To connect an external recorder

Just know that I have never used any of these myself, so you will have to rely on the customer reviews on those links to see what people say.  There are possible better models I would recommend, if your budget was much higher.  But know that Shure is a well known brand in the world of microphones.

Blue Snowball for desk mic but if you really want something clip on you could look into Antlion's modmics, but the audio quality seems to be.. iffy.

 

Also, might want to remove the YouTube channel link before they lock this post because of it  :ph34r:  :ph34r:  can be seen as advertisement

I need a microphone for my YouTube channel My budget is £40 and I would like either a desk mic or a clip on(preferably clip on), if possible a wireless lavaliere but not fussy.

 

And you want to connect the mic to a computer, external recorder/preamp or a preamp that interfaces with the computer?

I changed the 2nd link to another model.

 

Also know that you can't directly connect the Shure model that can connect to a phone with an external recorder.  The Shure uses a 4 pole mini jack, which is mainly found on smart phones and not on external recorders.

You're welcome.  I didn't link the ones closer or under your budget because I didn't like what people said in their customer reviews.  Again, as I don't have experience with any particular model in your budget range I was relying on those reviews to make a recommendation.
