Hi, i'm a little lost about microphones,
i'm searching a new microphone for recording my voice, but the microphone will be 1 meter away from me, i thought about a supercardioid shotgun microphone, the kind of microphone used on camera.
But i have a feeling it's a little bit overkill just for static voice recording. Is there any alternative microphone for this use? Am i missing something ? (btw i have a budget around 100€).
thank you for your time
EDIT:
In fact it's more between 0.5 and 1 meter and yes it's for video and comfort.
It's inside, i control the environment (some background white noise is not a problem, if it's not too loud)
The visual don't matter, the sound quality does (it's only for voice) and like i said the mic must be distant from me.
Also, i will cut sound under a certain number of decibel.
And i have a sound card with XLR (+ 48v)

EDIT:
Why does the mic need to be 1 meter away (what are you doing)?

mixsit said:'Out side, inside, do you control the environment- therefor the variables..?
Maybe headworn mic and visual and sound quality don't matter.
