I want to purchase a microphone..for my house. I bought cheap $15 bucks mic for recording. They worked a while (still are), but then.. sometimes when I sing a bit loud they come up with this staticy sound and when I am recording I could hear background noises.. like the wind..even if the mic is noise reducing.. like it said on the box. Now I'm trying to get a mic to record my vocals and guitar. I've come up with 3 options. Dynamic mic or condenser.
1. This one is a condenser.. I'm not sure about this because of the 'phantom power' I have no idea what it is.. and it looks kinda like a battery box. So I am scared I might have to go buy a more and more.. Waste of time, but I like the look of the mic and its price. (Marshall Electronics

Please help me out. I am an amateur musician/singer, but I plan to go a long way. I don't want a cheapy mic. What I want is one that is good, and it cancel background noioses [e.g. like the 'wind' and outside noises like cars] I want it to be good for singing/voice and for instruments like a guitar. I have a baby taylor if that helps at all -.-
Thank you!!
