[MV] Sennheiser headset microphone and Sennheiser MD431 with iListen

[Valerie Maples]

Dear Kerry;

I am successfully using a Sennheiser e845s hand-held microphone on a boom on
my Macintosh G5 with iListen 1.6.5. You will save a significant amount of
money with not much drop off in quality from the upper end Sennheiser
microphone. I do find that I need to keep it a little further away from my
mouth than when I used it with dragon naturally speaking on the PC. I did
not have good results with the fleximic, but it may be my particular setup.

For what it's worth, I do use an Andrea USB sound pod as my interface.

Good luck!
Valerie
