Assuming you are blogging from a usb-equipped computer, you might look at any of several very nice usb-enabled mikes on the market: Blue, Audio-Technica, MXL, Rode and Samson all make direct-plug-in usb mikes. The alternative is a regular condenser or dynamic mike and an analog-to-usb adapter. This option gives an endless choice of mikes,if at a higher price.

While some here criticize usb mikes, we use them for voice-overs in various applications and find the ones we have ---lowly Samsons! --- quite adequate for voice recording for our purposes. / Battle Vaughan /miamiherald.com video team
