The Wildtronics Micro-Mic PIP is a good low noise, high sensitivity, low cost microphone that perfectly fits our All Purpose Parabolic or Pro Mini Parabolic. Now with an improved microphone element specifically designed for 3.5mm PIP inputs with 2-3 volt power. The improved element also has higher sensitivity, meaning it has a higher output that will work better with typically noisy 3.5mm inputs. You can also use these great little microphones by themselves, outside of the dish, as a general omnidirectional microphone. You can even use a pair of them for stereo recording set-ups, using a Y cable, that we also have available. The Micro-Mic PIP requires a recorder and or camera, that has a 3.5mm input with 2-5 volt PIP, or Plug-in Power. The Micro-Mic PIP is less than 2 inches long, weighs less than 1oz, has a good 14dBA noise floor, has a built-in windscreen and can easily pop into the central Mic Tube of our All Purpose Parabolic or hub of our Pro Mini Parabolic. The mic has a machined aluminum construction, is fully shielded, and has a gold plated, Neutrik 3.5mm stereo jack. The left channel is connected to the mic, and the unused right channel is grounded through a 100 ohm resistor. This means that you will only hear the signal on the left channel. If you would like to have a signal on both the Left and Right channel, we offer a 3.5mm mono to stereo adapter found here. A 72 inch 3.5mm cable, with gold plated connectors, is included. The reason why we use a detachable cable is that cables will wear and need replacing far more often than a connector and you may want different length cables for different applications. You can replace the cable anytime inexpensively and still have a good microphone.

Since these are low noise mics, your recorder should have at least a -120dBA EIN for optimal performance. We recommend a few recorders that will achieve exceptional recordings with the Micro Mic PIP. A Sony PCM-M10 would be your best choice. The Sony PCM-M10 has the perfect input impedance, PIP voltage, and very low noise input preamps. Olympus LS10, 11, 12, and 14 recorders are also recommended. Newer recorders that are also recommended are the Roland R05 and the Olympus LS-P2. Using other PIP recorders will result in somewhat less than ideal performance due to a combination of factors including: input impedance, PIP voltage, and input noise of the preamps. You may discuss your specific application with us and we will assist you to select the best equipment for your budget.
