Re: selecting a microphone

[Chris Morton <salt -dot- morton -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Shure has a new line of USB mics. If you don't know Shure, you should, for
they've been in the microphone business for a very, very long time.

That's not to say they're the only mfr to consider, but you can count on
getting a well-enginerred product that, if taken care of, will last forever.
