My microphone I've used ever since the SoundBlaster Pro days, is frayed at the base and picks up more noise than actual audio.
I've been needing to get a microphone but I'm not sure how to go. I don't want a USB based microphone or headset. I want a standalone 3.5mm jack microphone, that doesn't pickup alot of noise (Anything from air to emissions and such) and what it does pickup it pickups loud.
I know setting microphone boosts and volume on the soundcard side amplifies the noise it's picking up. Is there a way to amplify the microphones sensitivity without amplifying any noise it picks up? Do I need to use some sort of mixer circuit to serve as a gain amplifier before the signal goes to the microphone jack?
