Acquisition was timely and having had a similar product like this a decade ago I knew just how handy and useful it would be in interviews as well as lectures and for my own personal recording needs. Keep in mind that it is stereophonic so you get the nice left and right channel playback.
Beautiful. That's like getting a +20dB gain without any increase in the noise. I haven't actually listened to the recordings through good headphones yet, so I can't comment on the quality of the sound, but even with some run-of-the-mill earbuds I can hear a clear improvement over my other lapel mic (Radio Shack). I bought this mic on the strength of the many good reviews, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. It gives me the same recording level without MIC BOOST as any of my other mics with the MIC BOOST. The highs are definitely crisper, and the whole sound is fuller. The mic's sensitivity is absolutely amazing. It's heartening to know SOME things are still built right in this day and age.
Also, I wish the wire was a little longer. It's pretty short, so you either need your source in your shirt pocket, or less than 2 feet from the mic. Pros:Inexpensive, records in stereo (quite well), lapel clip is very strong, and the mic swivels, so you can adjust it accordingly.Cons:The frequency is a little high, so some recordings may come out a little tinny sounding because there's little to no low-range on this mic. Also, it would be nice if they made this mic in black. Unless you're wearing a white shirt, it really stands out. For the price, you can't really expect much. These are all petty complaints, because the mic really does work quite well for the price, but there are a couple of drawbacks.
It works perfectly and the quality of the sound is very clear with no hiss or clicks. I like the clothes pin style clip and the mic swivels to any direction for any suitable position. I bought this item to use with my 5G iPod and Griffin's iTalk Pro. Highly recomend this product for your voice or music recordings.Tony AldridgeLongview Texas
Purchased this microphone for recording lectures at the university. It works flawlessly and has good sensitivity.
