I understands my question was too fuzzy. Unfortunately, I don't have enough knowledge of sounds and microphones.How do you define "high quality". I could suggest a Neumann N49 microphone. It's "high quality" and about US$9000. Is that what you want?
I could suggest a Shure M58. It's kind of a standard microphone and about US$100. Is that good enough?
But the fact that this needs to be outdoors is a whole other requirement. Does it have to be weatherproof? Omni-directional? Directional? Cost? Sensitivity?
Nobody can answer whether you need an amp or not. What's the audio level? What's the microphone sensitivity?
And there's no question about whether an amplifier "may" boost near sounds. It most certainly will.
You need some requirements before anyone can answer your questions.
It´s your project. So tell us in technical terms (not microphone related, not sound related) what you want to achieve.I don't have enough knowledge of sounds and microphones.
I like to contradict. I can´t imagine the goal is "to use high quality microphones".The goal is to use high quality microphones
I vote for the 3D 32 x 32 x 1024 array.Hi,
It´s your project. So tell us in technical terms (not microphone related, not sound related) what you want to achieve.
In your first post you talk about a microphone array. How many? How are they physically arranged?
How do you "connect" them? With "connect" I mean the algorithm on the digital side.
What is your idea? You say you are a digital guy. If you want to write code ... you first need a strategy.

High quality microphone.
There are many qualities for a microphone, like: dynamic, bandwidth, frequency flatness, impulse reponse...
What we don´t know: how important is the "sound quality" really. Is it for high perfomance audio productions? Or just to clearly understand the spoken words?

I rather guess you want a high quality result (how ever you define your result) ... with rather cheap microphones, but with features that allow the high quality result.
I understand that using "high quality microphones" may exclude some problems ... but you buy this with a lot of money. And maybe there are much cheaper microphones giving the same result.
What I want to say: you need to focus on the result. You need to define the result .... and then .. with the next step .. you need to focus on how to achieve this result.

See it like this:
If you want to transport a parcel from A to B very fast. Then you may buy a Lambourghini, because it is fast. But what does the Labourghini help if the parcel is too big for the boot? Or there is water between A and B.

What is an array of microphones? 3 x 3 = 9? 10 x 10 = 100? 32 x 32 x 1024?
