Hello,
I'm just more or less starting to record some bird sounds as I've been wanting to get into this for a long time (in addition to photography). Currently I own a Zoom H1n and noticed that the internal microphones are quite noisy if you're not absolutely surrounded by birds.
That's why I'm looking to buy an external microphone. I would have the option to buy a Sennheiser MKE 600 but I found a ME66/K6 combo relatively cheap (170 €). At some later point I'm planning to upgrade my recorder (if this hobby really is something for me). However, I would really like to capture this spring's sounds.
Additionally (based on my research and the data [~50mv/Pa vs 19mv/Pa] ) I found that the ME66/K6 is supposedly way better than the MKE 600. That's why I want to use this combo (battery powered with a XLR to 3.5mm adapter). Is this feasible or does someone have experience using this? I'm not looking for stellar recordings but I'd like to at least somewhat get my money's worth until I possibly upgrade.
More or less, I just want better recordings (more focused, way less noisy) than the built-in microphones. Is this something I can reasonably expect from this setup?
