Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos


Looking to record sound demos from a smartphone but looking for a better microphone. Something like sound sommelier. Unfortunately he doesn’t disclose what mic he uses. Budget would be $500. Thx

@OP. If you are prepared to do a little post production work, one of the Zoom H series recorders, which are an all in one solution incuding stereo mics, are a superb value/sq solution. You'll have to sync the audio to you video though.

If that's too much, Rode mics are gnerally excellent and fair value for money.

The Sony PCM-D10 is an awesome portable recorder with excellent built-in microphones.  Also great for digitizing vinyl up to 24/192.  Built like a tank. And right within your budget.  I use mine to record live concerts and recitals, sometimes using external microphones for large ensembles.

Check out the Zoom H4n Pro.  I used one when my son was playing guitar and drums to catch some memories.  It will get you started and then you can add external mics if needed.
