Olympus ME-15 Lapel Microphone
The Olympus ME-15 is a compact, high‑performance lapel microphone designed for clear voice capture in a variety of settings—from interviews and conferences to on‑camera recordings. Its lightweight construction, durable clip, and 3.5 mm jack make it an ideal companion for any portable audio setup.
Key Design Features
- Miniaturized Form Factor: The ME-15’s slim profile ensures that it can be discreetly attached to clothing without adding bulk or interfering with movement.
- Secure Tie‑Clip Mounting: A robust clip allows the microphone to stay firmly in place on shirts, blouses, or jackets. This eliminates the need for additional mounting hardware and simplifies setup.
- 3.5 mm TRS Connector: The standard 3.5 mm jack provides broad compatibility with smartphones, tablets, laptops, and portable recorders that feature a headphone‑line‑in input.
- Cardioid Polar Pattern: By focusing on sound from the front while rejecting side and rear noise, the ME-15 delivers clear vocal isolation even in moderately noisy environments.
- Low Self‑Noise: Designed to minimize internal hiss, the microphone ensures that background ambience does not compromise recorded speech quality.
