What I think might be the problem with these is that they're omnidirectional... And from what I understand here, I don't want that, right? |
I'm no expert, but those mics seem to have a relatively high self noise compared to the other mics mentioned, and yeah omni is probably not the best choice for pickup pattern, unless you were using it for a room mic, which would probably not work well do to the high self noise. On the cheap, I'd recommend the Rodes. They have a new shotgun, the NTG-3 which has lower self noise than their other mics (around $700):
RØDE Microphones - NTG-3
I've also had some success with the middle of the road Audio Technica AT4073 ($550-$600):
Audio-Technica - Microphones, headphones, wireless microphone systems, noise-cancelling headphones & more : AT4073a Line + Gradient Condenser Microphone
Good Luck!
