Many such microphones allow you to choose the plug, or at least that is the result of scanning my own mics. However I do agree that most higher quality mics I have come across are equipped with XLR plugs by default (though they can be refitted) which makes XLR kind of the canonical choice in studio environments. [recording sip phone and for DV video] > I need to record voices with good quality. From this I deduce you don't require long cables with your mic which implies you don't need balanced cables (at all cost). Nothing wrong with using XLR, but from what you write not a "must have" type of requirement. > More generaly, are there established standards in audio? > What are theses acronyms: ASIO, ASIO2, GSIF2, WDM, CoreAudio, CoreMIDI, > kernel streaming, etc... Have you tried google and/or wikipedia ?
