I'm buying a mp3 recorder soon to record rehearsals and concerts. I want to buy a stereo microphone for it, so it would be better than the built in microphone. What microphone should I get, for a not too expensive price?
The mp3 player doesn't have phantom power, and I think it is a line input. I'm interested in one of those microphones I've seen a million people use with minidisk players. I think those don't need phantom power or a preamp.
hmmm i'm not fimillar with the mic you're talkin' about, but i can say, if it's only got one input, you're not gonna be able to record a stereo signal.....
Check out the Core Sound mics. I got the Low cost Binaurals and they are great for the money and work fine with most MD, DAT or other recorders with an 1/8" input.
I bought one of those to use with an Olympus DS-2 for capturing tunes at irish trad sessions. It wasn't noticeably better than the built-in mic, so never use it. I could see the advantage of using one with a cable if you have a recorder with a motor in it (cassette or minidisc) in order to eliminate transport noise. For a step up, but bulkier, I've used an AT822 with a DAT walkman with good results.

wrong. the ecm907 does do a stereo signal through the STEREO mini plug
FWIW, at the price you want, it is probably going to sound like dog ****.
no kidding.
50 bucks wont even buy a decent pair of CABLES!
save up and get better gear.

I'm not looking to do a professional recording, I just want to record rehearsals for learning and concerts for memory. I recently heard a recording done on an iRiver H340 (the same as mine) using the tiny Senheisser mic that comes with it, and it sounded very good, better than how I expected these type of recordings to sound.
