  1. Hello all, PLEASE HELP! LOL. I am new to this whole thing (and admittedly pretty dumb when it comes to electronics) I am building a 4-dish parabolic mic array for outdoor use. I will be recording with a Zoom H6n recorder. I am looking for microphone suggestions/insights. It appears that many dishes use lavalier mics. As I am 3D printing my own parabolic array, I have the opportunity to use pencil type condenser mics, But as I am new to this, I really have no idea what I should be looking at. I do not have alot of money for this project, and I found a pair of mics for about $100 US. I am looking at these: A) https://www.amazon.com/Movo-LV4-O2-Omnidirctional-Microphone-Windscreens/dp/B016V12XW4/ref=sr_1_5?crid=24R2CO44TWFIH&dchild=1&keywords=omnidirectional+lavalier+microphone+xlr&qid=1610052838&sprefix=omnidirectional+lava%2Caps%2C401&sr=8-5[/url] https://www.amazon.com/LyxPro-SDPC-2-Stereo-Condenser-Microphones/dp/B012OHZJ8O?ref_=ast_sto_dp[/url] Would the pencil type be appropriate for my use? Or should I be looking at lavalier mics? I am hoping to stay in this same budget (About $200 US for 4 mics) The dishes will be connected via XLR cables to the Zoom recorder no more than 25' away. I am afraid that 10' is a bit close, so I planned on purchasing 25' cables (if I use the pencil-type). Thank you so much! I am not anywhere near adept at electronics - so homemade gear (mics, preamps etc) are not quite out of the question, but close. Off the shelf is preferred.
