iPhone / iPhone Video Omni Mono Microphone NO LONGER AVAILABLE Wired to a special 4 pole plug, these are 100% compatable with the Apple iPhones and iPhone Video with 4 pole jacks.  I understand these don't work with the iPhone 4. DUE TO MY HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING THE QUALITY 4 POLE PLUGS I NO LONGER MAKE THE MICS THAT PLUG INTO IPHONES.  However, you can still get my standard mono mic to work with your iPhone with an adapter cable similar to this one. http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-iphone-mic-ecm.htm That way you can use your mic in a standard recorder and also use it in your iPhone. No more compatabilty problems.

This Mono Omni Microphone is designed for the professional and hobbyist who prefers to take advantage of some recorder's capability of doubling the recording time when set in the Mono mode.

As with our stereo models this is of very high quality design and produces great sound.

Among many other things our Mono Microphones are also excellent for Internet communications or replacing your PC microphone, especially for Internet telephone applications!

Ae satisfied customer emailed...

"I just called my mom in NY using dialpad talking through your mono mic and the mic picked-up my voice with great clarity. It is way better than the Creative Labs mic I got with my Sound Blaster Live that I had. Definitely mention that the mono mic works great for Internet / telephone stuff."

Microphone Elements and Clips
These Omnidirectional Mono Microphones use electret condenser microphone cartridges.

They have a high degree of reliability under adverse shock, vibration and environmental conditions.  The capsules specifications are -35 decibels +4 decibels sensitive and have a 20 to 20,000 hz frequency range.  Sound to noise ratio is > 62 dB.

The high fidelity Omnidirectional  microphone capsule is in a handcrafted brass housing with durable steel alligator clips at the base.

The exterior features a black automotive finish and vibration dampening adhesive lined heat shrink tubing.

This mic is designed specifically for use with the “mic input” jack, also known as "plug-in power," that has voltage outputs from between 1.5 to 9 volts or with our Miniature Stereo and Mono Microphone 9 Volt Battery Power Supply.

Cable
We use the highest quality cable available for this type of microphone application.

The Miniature Balanced Musical Instrument cable was designed for professional stage and studio applications, has greater abrasion and impact resistance, extra limpness, and at the same time light weight. 

A larger gage of this type of cable is used by in the pro music industry.

It is rugged, flexible, has a long flex life and high interference and noise immunity.

High Quality Stereo Mini Plug

Each mic has a strong, durable Gold Plated 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) mini-stereo plug.

Iriver Omni Mono Microphone Specifics
This mic is available due to requests from members of the Video University Forums.  :)

The Iriver recorder requires a mono microphone to have a certain type of mono plug in order to record in the mono mode.  If the Iriver detects a stereo plug it will automatically switch to stereo mode.

To avoid this the "+" of the mic has to be connected to the the ring of the plug.  "Tip" is left open.  The Iriver thus detects it as a mono mic.

Our Iriver Omni Mono Microphones are wired this way.

Another different feature of this mic is the use of a more sensitive microphone capsule.  It is the same one used on the Mini Mono Gold and Stereo Oak mics.

They are -35 decibels +4 decibels sensitive and have a 20 to 20,000 hz frequency range.  Sound to noise ratio is > 62 dB.

Ideal for recording speech.

You will not be disappointed in the sound quality of these mics.  They are perfectly suitable for the Iriver recorder, will allow recording in the mono mode and are being used by some customers for wedding videogaphy.

Neutrik NTP3RC-B Right Angle Gold Plated Plugs

This is a plug that is soldered to the cable.  Not an adapter.

These low profile Neutrik NTP3RC-B right angle plugs work well for recorders with recessed input jacks.

These are the best right angled gold plated plugs available anywhere, in my opinon.
