Hello! I am a would-be archivist who would like to use my TC-D5M for field recording and interviews to have a physical copy of my work. However, I am not sure what a good microphone to use would be. I would like one that is not terribly expensive (at least to start), but none I see have separated Left and Right channels for stereo input. This isn't a huge problem, I can just get a splitter, but I was wondering what mics were originally intended for the TC-D5 and TC-D5M. I had my eye on the Sony ECM-R100 omni-directional tabletop mic for interviews: https://www.cnet.com/products/sony-ecm-r100-omni-directional-tabletop-business-microphone/ I haven't found one I am completely happy with for field recording. I'd like to be able to find one for less that $50. Any ideas? Thanks!
Stereo Review has brief information on the 1984 models, it starts on page 157 https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-HiFI-Stereo/80s/Stereo-Directory-1984.pdf I'll try to ask my buddy what he uses but his are all pretty expensive back in the 80s.
Here's one I have, I haven't used it yet but they tend to be fairly cheap for used, with the box. This splits for stereo recording but I think the guys recording in stereo use a mini mixer for two separate mics, at least for the larger recorders. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MARANTZ-SU...063707?hash=item445febc79b:g:3-4AAOSwgpJfDP3N
