Hey guys, Just looking to buy a decent microphone for under $40 AUD which doesn't require anything else like a phantom power supply. The mic is for podcasting/gaming so I'd like it to be reasonable quality. I was going to buy something like the newer nw-700 however it needed power and power supplies are a bit over my budget.

thanks, Lewis

What do you mean by "no power supply"? Most mics DO need a power source, it just happens to come from a PC's 3.5mm mic jack.

If you mean one that will work with a line-in (most macs):

Come to mind, but neither is all that great.
If you want USB, try http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1243916-REG/pyle_pro_pdmicusb6_usb_handheld_dynamic_mic_tabletp.html
