Hi, Paul.

You might try a directional (rather than omnidirectional) microphone. Also,
if you have an appropriate sound editor, use the equalizer (EQ) to minimize
or eliminate the server noise. If EQing works, you may not need a new mic.

I have been using a digital recorder for years to interview SMEs, with great
success.

Now, I sometimes have to interview SMEs in a place where there is background
noise from several servers. I do not use a microphone, so the recorder now
captures all the background machine noise, which makes listening to the
recording difficult sometimes.

Can anyone recommend a high-quality clip-on microphone that would not pick
up background noise so much?

Thanks.

Paul
