I'm looking to get my hands on a good microphone for recording foley (sound effects for film) as well as vocals. Would anyone have a recommendation on where to buy a good mic for a decent price?

Or... possibly online sites that ship to Korea?

I know that there's a pretty good selection of mics in Technomart, and I actually bought a Crown condenser mic there for what I think was a decent price (around 120,000 won). I have a business card from "Shin An Electronics" (tel: 3424-3 3 8 3 ~4) but I'm not sure if that's the shop I got it at - or one of the other mic shops I checked out on the same floor. Another phone number listed is H.P: 011-497-4945.

Nakwon Arcade near insadong or online:

There are TONS of pro audio shops online do a search on naver or google.co.kr

Nakwon has some really good pro audio shops but they can be a bit more expensive than buying online.

Good luck

I was really looking for a Shure USB Condenser mic (like their PG-42) but I couldn't find one in either Technomart or Nakwon Arcade.

Maybe Amazon will ship to Korea ... http://www.amazon.com/Shure-PG27-USB-Multi-Purpose-Microphone/dp/B001U1MGLY

Yeah, it looks like they do ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_navbox_596184_tips?nodeId=596188

I tried to get stuff shipped from amazon to korea and it didn't work. I don't know if it's a condenser mic, but I picked up the zoom h2.

Went to yongsan and all I could find was a store with karoake mics that sounded really staticky on my computer.
