Audio noob needs help

[dory_breaux]

Hey all, I am trying to find a decent entry level mic to use with my DVX100b. The in camera mic works ok but not well enough for me. I'm not looking for anything super fancy, just a entry level shotgun mic would be good. I mostly just do location recording and a few interviews. looking to spend around 100-150.

Thanks,
Dory

Read all the sticky topics, this question is answered in extreme detail many times

Please consult the forum stickies.

Also, be prepared to spend at least that much on accessories alone. An entry-level shock-mount can easily run $100, to say nothing of wind-protection and cabling.

Hi Dory:

You should take a listen to the Audio-Technica AT-875r, it is very good and can be found for as little as U.S. $189.00

Take a listen to the samples in the article
