I am thinking about getting an Olympus LS-11 recorder,
what lav mic would work well with this unit's 3VDC Plug-in Power voltage?

Rick Reineke June 12th, 2010, 10:45 AM Practically any lav with a 3.5mm TRS connector should work. While I haven't used the LS-11, I have tried other solid state portables as well as a number of MDs. Countryman, Sennheiser, Sony, Tram and VT lavs seem to work OK. Jan Boersma June 13th, 2010, 10:31 AM thanks, the DPA 4063 is the only one so far I've found that is specifically designed for 3V power supply, I've been told that most lav's need a minimum of 5 V and ideally 9V, are there any other lav's that are happy with 3V? Rick Reineke June 13th, 2010, 11:22 AM Most lavs require a low voltage, low amperage 'bias current',1.5 to 5V but operate fine on less than a full 5V. Any mic needing more may have an XLR Phantom Power transformer, a proprietary battery pack or a specific pin/plug configuration on a pro body-pack transmitter.

The Sennheiser ME 2 and MKE 2 are certainly OK with this voltage. The MKE 2 will work from under 1V up to about 12V - but the higher voltages do give the better quality. I have plugged an ME 2 into my Olympus LS-10 and it was fine. Taky Cheung June 22nd, 2010, 05:26 PM I'm using this one Amazon.com: Olympus ME-15 Microphone: Electronics |
