I ordered a Behringer UB802 mixer along with a Nady condenser microphone, mini-microphone stand, and some cables. From what I read, a normal microphone rather than the mini microphone in the DS-2 will work much better, and give a good sound. Then you need the mixer to balance the sound (or multiple mikes), and that should help cut out some of the 'hisses' you hear often on 'F', 'S', 'H' sounds, plus give it a warmer, more normal sound.
I'm hoping to be able to capture our liturgy this Sunday, and use some of that in the podcast if the sound comes out ok. I hope to get the gear in tomorrow, so I am waiting to record next week's readings until I get that in.
