Dave, over on Dave
\n Winer’s Test Site<\/a>, is looking for a
\n good quality microphone to use with his PC. What a coincidence! The Dowbrigade
\n has been looking for a microphone as well, but we had something a little
\n different in mind.<\/p>\n

Following the trailblazing Chris
\n Lydon<\/a>, we are wondering about incorporating
\n sound bites into our blogging.  What we want is a microphone that
\n DOESN’T PLUG INTO ANYTHING.  It would have an internal power source
\n and enough digital memory to hold a couple of hours of voice recording.
\n Light, easy to carry and sneak into closed events, and super-easy to operate
\n (like one switch: Off-Record-Pause). <\/p>\n

When the citizen blogger\/journalist returns to his or her computer,
\n the sound files could be transfered via removable media like CompactFlash,
\n or downloaded directly via a short USB cable.<\/p>\n

We know there are small, hand-held voice tape recorders available, some
\n digital.  But we have seen people using them, and they DON’T LOOK
\n LIKE REAL REPORTERS. It looks like they are talking into a camera or
\n a remote control device. We want one that looks like a real, classic, official
\n microphone, just with a small digital recorder inside.  We feel
\n that the interviewees would take us more seriously with a realistic-looking
\n mike, even if it wasn’t plugged into anything.<\/p>\n

Does such a thing even exist?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
