A cheap XLR one; Behringer C2 IIRC.

Mic isn’t as important as the interface though.
I can highly recommend the MOTU M2 for that. The noise floor is very very low and it’s not nearly as expensive as interfaces with comparable performance.

It can also serve as a very good DAC/AMP for almost all high-end headphones. It’d only struggle with extremely inefficient headphones and for those you can always get another AMP and connect that to the interface; using it as a DAC.

Mine is not the studio one, but it’s still good. It’s Fifine K668. It plugs into USB port and it just works™.

Shure SM58 going through an Audient ID4 audio interface. Pretty plug and play.

I can recommend NOT getting a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. It does not play well with Linux. It still can work but has issues.

I’m just curious, what type of issues are you running into with it? I purchased one a short time ago for recording guitar practice sessions for future reference. I haven’t used it an enormous amount yet, and I’d like to prepare myself if there’s use cases that don’t work on Linux.

I’m running Ubuntu Studio, and using a microphone or DI depending on the situation.

The biggest thing was sometimes all output coming out as a distorted clipping mess, with nothing fixing it but a reboot. It was random and I can’t tell why it happens. Other than that it’s a lot of more minor stuff like the configuration software being Windows exclusive.

What problem are you having? Ive been using the 2nd gen for years, and didn’t notice any problems, except more xruns than I think ought to happen. But it’s hard to know what to blame for xruns.

AFAIK the problems are exclusive to the 3rd gen line.

Also suggest the advice of getting an external audio interface. That wy, no drivers shenanigans, as it should be. For me, an Audio-Technica AT2020 XLR works great. Been using some cheap Tonor ones before too.

I use a fifine microphone which mostly works ok. I used to use NoiseTorch when I had a keyboard with clickies but it was more trouble than it was worth (probably zoom linux client’s fault not NoiseTorch though).

I use a Zoom H5 as an audio interface. It comes with a stereo Microphone that is really good quality and has two XLR connectors for any mic. No issues with Linux as far as drivers etc is concerned + it doubles as a portable recorder.

It’s an AKG C214 plugged into a SSL2+, works out of the box with the appropriate kernel drivers. Headphone is a Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, also plugged into the SSL2+.

Wave 1. The software does not work because it is made for some other platform, but the hardware is good and does not have any software locked features (very basic mic). The hardware mute key does not unmute the mic though, not sure what’s up with that…
