This brown, compact Microphone Madness MM-PSM Pro Series Omnidirectional Earset Mic delivers clear spoken-word and vocal reproduction for presenters and performers working in music, theatrical, broadcast, house of worship, lecture, and presentation settings. It comes with a TA5F connector that plugs into select Lectrosonics bodypack transmitters.

The MM-PSM Pro Series earset features a 3mm capsule mounted on a short 3.4' boom that can be discreetly positioned away from the mouth for an unobtrusive fit. The earset can be worn on either the left or right ear and feels natural when used for extended periods of time. The extremely flexible boom is virtually unbreakable.

The capsule delivers full-frequency (20 Hz to 20 kHz) audio performance and high gain before feedback for detailed speech intelligibility. The 145 dB of dynamic range makes this mic well suited for loud vocal performances in houses of worship and on the musical stage. The mic's omnidirectional polar pattern offers enhanced plosive protection with no proximity effect for a natural sound.

All MM-PSM Pro Series microphones are made in the USA.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Looking at this, the Countyman B6 and the Sanken COS-11D for a documentary I'm doing for a hospital in a small African country this summer. I know the B6 and 11D are highly regarded, but given the $ and my need for 2-3 mics while paying for them out-of-pocket, I want to find the best bang-for-buck without sacrificing a lot in sound quality. My big question before trying it is, how is the self-noise and handling-noise on this unit? Thx in advance.

A: The Microphone Madness MM-MSLM is an excellent microphone for the money, relatively quiet, and not too bad on the handling noise. You may want to pick up some hush lav quieting sleeves (used with the sanken lavs) to better isolate the microphone from rustling noise. Also, please not the microphone requires power via bias voltage; 1 to 9 VDC.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with the Canon 5D mark 3 camera?

A: Yes - the Canon EOS 5Dmk3 offers the requisite plug-in power .

Q: 3. Can i plug this mic directly into my camcorder using the xlr adapter to record depositions or interviews?

A: You can use the Samson LM8x Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with the included cable that has a locking 3.5mm TRS connector, then attach the RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP). The VXLR+ will allow you to connect to an XLR input and use 48V phantom power to provide voltage for the microphone. The VXLR+ will convert 48V down to the appropriate amount of plug-in power that the mic requires. We do also have lavalier mics that already have an XLR connector that can be connected directly to a camcorder, without the need for adapters, that are priced in the same range as the the LM8x. We have the MXL FR-355K Lavalier Interview Microphone Kit (B&H # MXFR355K), which includes both an omnidirectional and a cardioid lavalier mic, the Movo Photo LV4 Cardioid and Omnidirectional Lavalier Condenser Microphone Set (B&H # MOLV4) and the Movo Photo LV4-O2 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with XLR Connector - Pair (B&H # MOLV4O2), the BOYA BY-M40D Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # BOBYM4OD), and the BOYA BY-M4C Cardioid Lavalier Microphone (B&H # BOBYM4C), as well as many others. Please feel free to contact us by phone or through live chat and we will be happy to help you to find the best options for your application and budget.

Q: 4. would these work for a wireless system? for example, the new Rode Wireless Go system or Sennheiser XSW kits? do transmitters typically provide the plug in power needed for these lavs?

A: This will work with the Rode Go systems very well, I've used them together in the past and overall had a good experience. However it does not work with Sennheiser wireless system since they have a proprietary locking pin, so when buying lavs for Sennheiser systems it either needs to be made buy Sennheiser or for Sennheiser.

Q: 5. I use a Microphone Madness MM-MSLM Omnidirectional MatchStick Lapel Microphone (Black) with the Zoom H1N. Are there any adapters that I should have between the two or can the mic just plug into the recorder?

A: You don't need any adapters. It's a 3.5mm mic in on the H1 and a 3.5mm on the lav's connector. All you have to do is plug it in.

Q: 6. How long is the cable?

A: 6 foot long from mike to plug tip. Hope this helpsJack

Q: 7. What are people using to mount these, and to minimize clothing noise?

A: It's really more about where you are mounting these rather than about what you are mounting it with.I use basic Rycote Undercovers as the sticky element and then I find a dead spot under the subject's clothing.

Q: 8. the clip was the wrong size. which clip I need and why my microphone cover is wrong too

A: The clip is just very tight but it does fit. just be careful not to damage the cable. great microphone.

Q: 9. Does this version have the locking (screw-on) 3.5mm jack? Such as for a Sennheiser G3, or DR-10L?

A: No, this microphone has a non-locking 3.5mm TRS connector for use with a recorder, camera or a device with a standard mic input. We do offer the omnidirectional Microphone Madness Lavalier Mic for Select Sennheiser Systems in black (B&H # MIPSMLSRBL) or beige (B&H # MIPSMLSRBE) as a special order item. We do have a selection of other mics that are compatible with Sennheiser transmitters and the DR-10L.

Q: 10. Is it compatible with Tascam DR-40? If "yes", what adapter I have to use?

A: Yes, you can use the MM-ML with the Tascam DR-40. Use a Rode VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H #ROVXLRP) to convert the mic's 3.5mm plug to XLR as well as to convert 48V phantom power from the recorder into low voltage plug-in power suitable for the microphone.
