And then there is this:
www.lavryengineering.com use the link for computer audio and then
Mini-PRS-2. YOu'd need battery powered mics to use condensers...
quoting:
"Lavry=92s new Mini Personal Recording Studio 2 is a small, road-tough
USB recording solution. Connecting your choice of two dynamic mics to
the stereo preamp inputs, the unit then sends CD quality digital audio
into your computer.
The unit=92s ultra-low power drain (only .25 watts) makes it ideal for
portable (laptop) applications.
The Mini PRS-2 is compatible with Windows 98 2nd edition, Windows ME,
Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines. It also operates with Mac OS 9
and OS X machines.
The unit works with all software supporting WAV formats. Lavry
Engineering includes a user friendly direct to disk recording software
for recording CD quality or MP3 format on Windows machines.
(Actual size 4 3/4 x 2 5/8 x 1 5/8 inches.)"
