Judy, if you have a mixer and can spare $69-$79, You can't go wrong with a Cad GXL2200/2400. The only real difference between the two is that the 2400 has greater SPL, though I believe in a broadcast setting you can't tell, and that the 2400 is smaller. otherwise, these microphones are flawless, and I'll be honest, i wouldn't rather talk on anything else on my shows, and this comes from someone who's used Rode NT1's, Shure SM58's and similar, etc. If you'd like a sample of the Cad GXL2400, which i have, contact me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy W" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
