Looking for a better Microphone

[dwhitehead]

My son participates in several bands, and while the mic on the S9 is good I feel like I need something more.

I've tried this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014Q9YUKG/), which gave me good quality for a couple of recordings before one of the internal circuit boards cracked.

Anyone doing this with theirs that can offer some advice? Ideally, I'd like it to be "portable", but for a nerdy band parent that is a flexible term.

Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide.

well, if youre willing to throw $160 on that item you linked above, im not sure this would be what youre after, but its a high quality outboard mic that is built specifically for stuff like this and its under $20

To my knowledge you won't get true stereo recording through the mic jack. Need a USB connection. Tried finding to record wife's performances, no luck with cheaper options.

Only usb mic for android that I located earlier this year was Shure MV88+ but I could not find this mic sold on its own. The Shure MV88+ "kit" for android includes accessories.

Works well with Shure MotivAudio (cd quality 16bit/44.1 or 48kHz) and MotivVideo (44.1 or 48kHz audio in AAC 96, 128, or 256 format). Both Shure apps are free (so far).

PM if you want to see sample video from this mic using S9.

what exactly are you trying to capture? your previous rig looks like you were going to audio events. Concerts? Ted talk event type of thing? You a youtuber? what are the main focuses of your point in getting a better mic?
