Your post reeks of stupid.
The mic I suggested IS IN FACT XLR out. It comes with an adaptor like you mentioned. And simply having an adaptor DOES NOT mean he can use "any mic you want." This one needs phantom power, as supplied with the internal 9V battery (instead of a mixing console or outboard pre-amp). Hell, even a dynamic mic is too much mic for a generic computer jack to power.
Yes it is cardioid, but it is a very sensitive mic with a LARGE diaphragm, meaning a large pick-up area. Why would he want to record the back of the room?
