  Really Nice $20 Mic

I just heard an mp3 using this mic on one of the recording forums I post at, and it sounds surprisingly good for $20. So I thought I'd pass this on to anyone who's looking for a good but "inexpensive" mic.

He uploaded the mp3 to the forum and you would've had to register there to hear it, so I put it up on my site for easy access. I ran out of room on my site though so the ending got cutoff, but you'll get the idea.

"sure can , with an XLR to1/4 jack lead."

Where will it get it's power from? I didn't see that it has batteries. My take is that it will not plug directly into a PC, even with an adapter/xformer cable.

Oops,I forgot about that... (I was carried away with enthusiasm, as I'm looking to buy my first recording mic)

I should have said:

'sure you can, through a mixer or preamp with phantom power'
