HANDS-FREE VOICE RECORDING
Clip the microphone close to the speaker
The Olympus ME-15 is a small tie-clip microphone for hands-free speech recording. Attach it to a collar, tie or lapel and connect the 1 m cable to a compatible voice recorder.
A compact microphone for spoken notes
The omnidirectional electret condenser capsule picks up sound around the microphone. Keeping it close to the person speaking can help when the recorder is positioned elsewhere, although background noise and clothing movement can still affect the result.
- Small, lightweight design with a supplied tie clip
- 1 m cable with a right-angle 3.5 mm mono plug
- 100–12,000 Hz frequency response
- Powered through a compatible recorder microphone input
Check compatibility before connecting
The ME-15 requires plug-in power and is not compatible with every recorder that has a 3.5 mm socket. Check your exact model, then make a short test recording to adjust placement and recording levels.

In the box
ME-15 microphone, tie clip and instructions. Recorder and connection adapters are not included.
Recorder compatibility
The ME-15 needs a compatible microphone input supplying 1.5–10 V plug-in power. A headphone-only socket is unsuitable.
- The manufacturer’s microphone compatibility chart lists LS-P5, WS-883 and WS-882 as supported examples.
- The same chart does not support ME-15 with LS-P4, LS-P2 or DM-720. Do not assume all Olympus or OM SYSTEM recorders are compatible.
- On supported stereo recording setups, the mono ME-15 records to the left channel only. Check the recorder’s input and recording-mode settings.
- Confirm other recorder models against the manufacturer’s guidance before ordering.
Computer and phone connections
This analogue microphone has no USB connection. A computer or phone needs a suitable powered microphone input or audio interface with appropriate wiring. Direct connection to a headset combo socket is not guaranteed.
