Microphones or headsets is a difficult story here in the Netherlands. My very simple headset, which I got along with my Target speakerboxe, is connected to my pc via mini-jackets. I think they are called that way. I would certainly try an alternative if I'm sure it's a big improvement. But microphones/headsets seems to be a gray area and difficult to get when you want to connect them to yr pc. I wonder what is used in this Shure Condersor 16 AM mike. ________________________________________________ Liekele (Lieko) Helmus & Rinske Helmus-Deutekom Siriusstraat 52, NL-1223 AP Hilversum, the Netherlands 31(0)35 6858 675 (+voicemail) Fax 31(0)20 8848 931(fax2pc) gsm 06 28184122 (+SMS) NetMeeting (+Webcam) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I use a Shure Condenser microphone Model 16AM. It is a professional grade microphone and you better have a SoundBlaster card--I have the AWE64. You will not find this microphone in computer supply stores. After much research, I ordered it directly from Shure at their web site. For me the quality of the sound is so superior to the Logitech or any of the PC quality microphones. Be prepared, it is not cheap A good microphone does make a difference and the Shure is the only professional grade unit made that is made for use with PC's. Good luck.

But, with the following provisos. 1..The audio seems to be very "woolly" and imprecise. Would this be down to the quality or type of microphone I am using. Can anyone recommend a microphone that will give good results? 2. I have great problems in reaching specific servers. i.e. "ils.demon.co.uk " is a server I can hardly ever connect to. Is this usual? 3. Is it possible to somehow "Filter out" the porn and sex sites using something like an E mail filter such as those used on Eudora or Outlook Express?
