moin moin, With everyone else suddenly going online I need to finally improve some of my versatility. Any recommendations for microphones? Needs: * something that does well with voice, e.g. podcasts, presentations, meetings * something that will work for an acoustic instrument * works with laptops and desktops * can eliminate background noises * works with debian/Ubuntu Wants: * one mic to rule them all rather than needing multiple mics * works with cellphones * wired connection option * inexpensive * can be used in an open room with someone else joining the same chat room in a different room in the house without flashback sound effects * can be used in an open room with someone else joining the same chat room in a different room in the house with flashback sound effects because kidling thinks it's hilarious :) We already have that last feature with the current setup. For the most part, mic use can be in isolated parts of house. I might end up needing multiple mics. If so, preferably they'd all be the same, but that's not strictly a requirement. Most likely, I'll be buying one mic and multiple headsets with mics. Preferably, I'll be buying from Newegg. ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com https://www.PhxLinux.org # Linux Fest Northwest cancelled, working to get presentations online # https://www.lfnw.org/conferences/2020 # The key to making programs fast is to make them do practically # nothing. ;-) -- Mike Haertel, 2011Aug21 --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
