microphone for H120
petur:
loads of info can be found on http://taperssection.com (free registration required), although I'm sure they will tell you that an external preamp is the way to go for low spl recording...
perik:
ok.
I would prefer to go without external preamp :(
have u got any experience of recording with those mics or similliar mics on the H120?
thanks for your reply!

yes, but for completely opposite usage, namely recording rock concerts. So no experience at all with high sensitivity mics.
Also, good mics come with a price.
Please search and ask on taperssection, lots of experienced people are there (much more than here regarding this topic)

An option would be an OKM microphone. It's plugged into your ears and makes very 3D like recordings. I own the cheap one, which has problems with frequencies below 40/50 Hz. Otherwise very original recordings. Click on OKM in my sig.
As for the question you did not want to ask:

The OKM and surely other mics work very well with H120/140 and do not require a separate pre-amp.

I know that, but it seems to be possible on the H3x0 to change the impedance on that jack so the one and the same jack can work as both mic-in and line-in.
anyway, I dont think this is possible on H120 and my main question is not about that. It´s about microphones.
so anyone got any suggestion for me?

You say your main question is not about whether the line socket can double as a mic-in, but surely if you are going to use an external mic without a pre-amp to bring it up to line level, that should be your first question.
If the answer is yes, then the question is 'What un-preamped mic would be good for my purposes?'.
Although it seems that a straight-forward un-preamped mic will work, no-one (inc. myself) has yet answered the question of changing the impedance. I would have thought a standard mic plugged into a line-impedance port is not going to produce good results...
