Title: Microphone for Samsung
Post by: clover182 on May 07, 2023, 11:31:43 AM: Hello!

Hopefully this is the right place. Perhaps incredibly optimistic of me, but I am looking for advice on a set of external microphones I can use for a Samsung Smartphone (USB-C) and Motorola G50 (USB-C) as I am going to the Slam Dunk Festival and NOFX's final UK show and would like to get a decent audio recording. I would take an audio recorder but I don't think I am prepared for "stealth" taping yet.

Preferably a decent priced microphone that you can plug in and essentially use (variable on changing some settings)

Thanks in advance!

Not looking to do much more then recording a few shows here and there. Mainly something that doesn't "saturate" like the built in mic does at times.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm not sure there is a microphone that goes to the Samsung. I've read there are microphones that you can connect to iphones though.. I'll be curious to know as well if anybody has any input
