The Olympus ME-15 is a lightweight tie-clip condenser microphone for people who want hands-free voice pickup with a compatible Olympus digital voice recorder; its clip can attach to a tie or collar.
Recommended For
- People dictating notes while moving or working hands-free, using a compatible voice recorder; the small clip-on design keeps the microphone close without holding the recorder.
- Interviewers recording nearby speakers for later transcription, especially in quiet, close-range settings where a wearable mic or a mic placed on the table is practical.
- Voice-recorder users who need a compact, wired lavalier for capturing their own speech while keeping their hands free for tasks such as taking notes.
- Users recording short business discussions or small, nearby-group sessions who can place the mic close to the voices rather than relying on it to pick up speech from across a large room.
