Hi Dan.
Thanks for the info.
I definitely soon do want to purchase a better mic for my Uher.
The Sennheiser mics look great, but most are outside of my budget unfortuna=
tely.
Remember, I am doing this as a hobby, not a profession.
Can anyone suggest a good mic I can buy for up to $250 AUD ?
One that is ok for field recording particularly.
Thanks, Chris
