A bit off topic, but if you have a bit of change, a dynamite tool for pre-amp between a quality microphone and your USB port is USBPre by Sound Devices (search on the web... I don't have the URL at the moment) You *can* get cheaper stuff... but if you are serious about doing high quality input in professional situations this is highly recommended. It changed our whole life here... we were able to input sound, at the same time pipe it to a PA system, listen to the input on a headphone, control input volumes, pipe the input to an external recorder if you need that also and more...all from a single device, it's only 4 inches wide and is powered by the USB port...and fits in the palm of your hand/your computer bag... We actually sold our high-dat recorder, two amps (one to pre-amp the PA and one to pre-am the DAT recorder) and replaced them all with this gadget...and coiled up all the extension cords and gave them to the carpentry shop, no more spaghetti, set up for session in 3 minutes. Used by the big boys (CNN and NBC) by their correspondents in the field and has a lot of support by SoundDevice engineers.
