Hello all, .

I am new to the whole audio thing, and am just a newbie. I am building a 4-dish parabolic mic array for outdoor use. (Listening to the four points of the compass) I will be recording with a Zoom H6n recorder. I am looking for microphone suggestions/insights. It appears that many dishes use lavalier mics. As I am 3D printing my own parabolic array, I have the opportunity to use pencil type condenser mics, But as I am new to this, I really have no idea what I should be looking at.


I do not have alot of money for this project, and I found a pair of mics for about $100 US. I am looking at these:

A) https://www.amazon.com/Movo-LV4-O2-...8&sprefix=omnidirectional+lava,aps,401&sr=8-5[/URL]

B) https://www.amazon.com/LyxPro-SDPC-2-Stereo-Condenser-Microphones/dp/B012OHZJ8O?ref_=ast_sto_dp[/URL]

Would these be appropriate for my use? Or should I be looking at lavalier mics? I am hoping to stay in this same budget (About $200 US for 4 mics)

Thank you so much!
