Can anyone recommend me a affordable talkback mic (mic+stand+switch) to get for my home studio.

I plan to use a cheapo Behringer compressor to duck the background when the mic is enabled.

Any mic will do the job. I use an EV dynamic mic that I found 2nd hand in a music store and paid next to nothing for it. It´s hidden under the console so I don´t have to see it. Buy whatever mic you find cheaply second hand or new and the only limitation is how ugly it can look. And don´t get a condenser unless you´re able to feed 48V to it. The quality of the mic for this purpose is not important. Or buy a Samson studiocontroller 2nd hand and use only the talkback mic from it ! Takes up less space than a micstand. Or get a AKG miniature mic. Or a cool 50´s radio-speaker-mic with original tabletop stand :)
