Hello, everyone! I have a little bit of a unique situation, and not being a massive expert with audio and what not, I figured I could go to a forum that is filled with users far more knowledgeable than I am on the subject. So, here's my current audio/microphone setup...
Audio: Beyerdynamic MMX 300
Microphone: Beyerdynamic MMX 300 microphone
Speakers: Klipsch ProMedia 2.1
AMP/DAC: Sennheiser GSX 1000 (both headphones, microphone, and speakers connected through this; like the audio-swapping feature plus it powers the headset well)
So, here's my dilemma... I am wanting to upgrade my headset to a pair of headphones that doesn't have a microphone attached. I have been eyeing the Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X that recently released. So, that leads me to have to buy a microphone, however I have no desire to purchase a boom arm, condenser microphone, and XLR audio interface due to the clean look I am going for with my desk. Ideally, as my 34" ultrawide monitor is mounted on an arm mount, I'd like a microphone that can mount to the arm that's holding my monitor, and has a 3.5mm jack to connect to my AMP/DAC as my current headset does. If it needs additional power, that's not a problem. Where the problem lies is I would like the microphone to sit above my monitor, but not be hanging out close to me. Basically a 2ft distance if possible. This has led me to check out shotgun microphones, but I have concerns on pricing there. I have considered making a custom mount at the bottom of my desk with a hinge that can swing up and place the microphone in front of my chest (something small and compact like the Shure MV88+), but low enough to be out of my sight, but I'd prefer to see if this avenue is possible before I look into that. I considered the Rode VideoMic Pro+ shotgun microphone that's made for on-camera mounting, however it's battery powered and that sounds like a hassle, though I may have to do it to fit the build.
So there it is. Haha Any recommendations/help? It is massively appreciated! Also, sorry for the long post! I just wanted to be as detailed as possible for those who can provide help.
