Cheap Mic For Voice? Options

[audionaut]

Hi all,
I want to buy a mic as cheap as possible to record my voice (spoken word mostly - to manipulate and insert in my electronic music).
Equipment: ibook g4 1 Ghz 640 mb ram.
Which mic is extremely cheap yet of reasonable quality?
Thanks in advance,
Joost

I have a Beringher B-1 that goes for $99. You didn't mention your price range, but that is a cheap large-diaphragm condenser mic that is versatile for voice and instrument recording. It comes with a case, windscreen (a cheap one), and a shockmont (this lets you attach it to a mic stand). However, as most condenser mics, it requires 48v of phantom power. You must have a pre-amp to power the mic.

Another good vocal mic is a Shure SM58. They go for about the same price, but don't require phantom power. They are considered the industry standard when it come to live sound.

Hope that helps.
