## Description

Product Description 3.5mm non-directional monaural microphone with tiepin-clip and 3.3 foot cable. desertcart.com The Olympus ME-15 Microphone is a small, lightweight tie-clip microphone that can be conveniently clipped to the tie or collar. The microphone can also be fixed under a jacket or shirt for easy concealment. The ME-15 is an ideal accessory for Olympus digital voice recorders. The mic's cord is 3.3-feet long and the entire unit weighs only 11 grams. A tie pin-type clip is also included with the microphone. Note: When using the ME-15 with Olympus Pearlcorder microcassette recorders, you will need the Olympus PA-1 plug adapter (sold separately). What's in the Box ME-15 microphone and tiepin-type clip.

Review: Best clip-on mic for digital voice recorders (and I've tried many) - This is a fantastic microphone. I've tried many, and this is the very best for clipping to clothing and using with a digital voice recorder. The audio quality is excellent, the clip is solid and durable, and its price is uninflated. There are other high-qualitiy microphones that require a battery to operate, and when the battery goes down, you will be recording silence. Since the ME-15 has no battery - it works passively, straight from the mic jack - it sidesteps this problem and is basically goof-proof. Yet it still records very high-quality audio. Another way in which the ME-15 offers an advantage is the mic head's attachment to the clip - it's sturdy and is not prone to unintended coming apart. Other microphones have clips that are often separated from the mic, which I've then had to replace with tiny cable ties. I like the ME-15 so much, I'm a repeat buyer. I don't need more because they break; it's just because I've lost them from time to time. (They are intended to be small and unintrusive, after all.)
Review: Great quality mic at an affordable price - I recently took a chance on this microphone, putting some faith in the Olympus name. I do videos that I post on YouTube, often reviewing products - so I do a lot of talking while the camera is focused on a product or activity, etc. The on-camera mic was not a good option, and the clip-on mic that I had previously sucked. It was very muffled and distorted. The Olympus ME-15 mic has made a huge difference in the quality of my videos. The audio of me speaking is very clear and crisp. The volume can be adjusted without creating a muffle or distortion. The alligator clip that comes with the microphone is excellent for clipping to the front of your shirt. I usually clip it just below the collar bone area and that seems to give me very good audio results. The only downside to this mic is that the cord is on the short side. I would very much prefer a longer cord (8 ft. would be great, 6 ft. would even be okay). This is a minor issue, as I can always extend it with another cord if I need to. In summary - great quality microphone at a very good price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hear the Difference
*by C***L on September 23, 2012*

. Stop and notice the difference between icky sound and quality sound. Then do something about it. This mic is an inexpensive first step. I use it for video reviews. A $100 "LDC" desk mic might be better, but I like this solution. You don't have to worry about: Turning your head away from the mic. Pop filters. Breath noise. Stands. Isolation mounts. Phantom voltage. This "lavalier" style mic is typically plugged into a wireless system such as the Azden WMS-PRO Wireless Microphone System. But since I'm always recording from about 10 feet away, I prefer direct wiring. I use the very heavy duty Monoprice 15ft Premium 3.5mm Stereo Male to 3.5mm Stereo Female 22AWG Extension Cable (Gold Plated) - Black . - - - Works with... Doesn't work with... - - - The owner manual warns: "Do not use this microphone with any recorder that cannot supply power to an external microphone. If you are using this microphone with a recorder not made by Olympus, we cannot guarantee the specified sensitivity." Well, it would be nice if that was disclosed in the product description before purchase. I'll guess they are not talking about the "48 volt phantom power" that larger condenser microphones require. I plugged this into the "Mic" input on my PC's sound card. It seemed to work fine after I set the Realtek Audio Manager's "Microphone Boost" to +10 dB. I don't know if it's working below par, but it seems to work pretty well (See video.) It works fine with my Olympus WS-802 Voice Recorder. It does NOT work with my Canon HF-M500 camcorder (directly connected). Apparently many camcorders require a battery powered mic such as the Audio-Technica ATR-3350 Lavalier Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone (or an energized interface). PROs: - Good quality sound - Affordable - Easy to set up and use - Almost invisible (except for silver clip) OKs: - You can easily paint or replace the silver "tie pin" clip CONs: - Unclear what devices are fully compatible. - Olympus does not explain compatibility issues very well. - - - Specs from Owner Manual - - - Type: Electret condenser microphone Directionality: omni-directional Sensitivity: -42 dB at 1 kHz (0dB = 1V/Pa) Output impedance: 2.2 K ohms Power Supply: Plug-in-power system (1.5V - 10V) ~~~ Comments & questions welcome ~~~
