Re: Microphone for zoom lessons

Let's not confuse the latest internet sensation, ZOOM (meeting software) with the electronics company that makes great all in one recorders ZOOM such as the H2.

I don't think you can set up the H2 as an interface (I may be very wrong). So you'd need to get a basic interface (a mic pre-amp that also functions as the way to get that amplified sound into a digital format that then gets sent to your computer).

Interfaces start at around $160 dollars (for stereo....and you'd want that as a baseline). Then you can start talking microphones. There are some cheap large diaphragm condensers for about $100. So for a basic set up without all the horrid sound, your talking $260 plus tax (and possibly shipping if you don't live near a Guitar Center).

Of course you do need to learn a little about setting levels and better mic placement too (about 10 to 15 feet away from the clarinet MINIMUM distance). But it's always good to know something about how the recording industry works. The multi Grammy Award winning Billie Eilish was basically all done on a laptop by her brother. That's the way things are going these days.........you don't need a multi-million dollar studio anymore.
