This Microphone Array (will?) support Raspberry Pi:

:)

This is Seeed Studio, they've created three other projects that have gone pretty well (judging by feedback on their comments). https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/seeed

The kickstarter campaign says the USB microphone is their $200K stretch goal, but only 8 days to go, how likely are they going to reach $200K? Does anyone know this company?

Seems like it's on its way to the stretch goal.

Seems like an amazon echo dot.

Microphones have a wide range of use cases. What directionality do you want? http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/What-is-a-d...

You might want a "boundary" or "PZM": http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/microphones/pzm.html

Question is how much you're looking to spend, really... I use the Yeti by Blue and never had any complaints (not very portable)

Thanks.Yeti is professional but my RPI takes only $35, seems the kickstarter thing pretty handy, though I see no rewards for an independent microphone array.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a high sample rate microphone? Something that can do 120,000 samples per second or more? I don't need USB, really just the high sample rate.

I need a microphone to pickup sound from 10 feet away for my project.

Single microphone won't do that. You need a microphone array.
