So I thought about getting some Microphone for recording acoustic stuff.
(just for home recording purpose, only directly recording acoustic guitars (no amp))

price range 100-150 €
I have no experience with mics at all and there are quite many around in that price segment.
All I found out till now is that small membrane condenser mics are the usual thing to record acoustic instruments.
and in another board someone suggested the Rode NT5 S

As my current Recording interface only has 1 Instrument input I also need another interface :-/
should have mic and instrument input, optimum would be sth with 2 combo inputs (Mic/instrument) so I can record Mic + guitar pickup and for later still have the option of a 2nd mic input for stereo microphone setups or stuff like that.
Interfaces I found so far suiting that are
M-Audio Mobile Pre-MKII http://www.thomann.de/gb/m_audio_mobilepre_mkii.htm
and
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 http://www.thomann.de/gb/focusrite_scarlett_2i2.htm


what are your suggestions in that price range (Mic + Mic Stand + Cable + Interface shouldn't add up to much more than 300 €)

does anyone know some sort of collection of sound examples for different mics on the same guitar?

thx in advance
