Olympus ME-15 Tie Clip Microphone

I bought this because my Olympus was not recording well with its built in mic. With the external mic the recording improved over 50%.

Olympus ME-51S Stereo Microphone

from: Olympus

October 19, 2005
Bought to complement my WS-210S Olympus digital recorder. Seems that mixing different makes of mics and recorders can produce disappointing results!

This Olympus microphone and the Olympus WS-210S are a perfect match and work very well together.

The Olympus USA site has a better product description than any site I have seen.

It also comes with an extension lead and a tie clip so that the mic can be placed within 1m of the recorder.

This microphone requires plug-in-power, i.e. power supplied by the recorder.

A very good price for good old duracell batteries. Make sure you always have a spare pack in your drawer!

Olympus TP-7 Multi Purpose Adapter

This nifty gadget allows you to record any phone conversations - landlines and mobiles - without complications, and with excellent sound quality. I have used mine in combination with a WS-40 digital recorder for the past year and it is fantastic for phone interviews. I rave about it so often that two colleagues have purchased it based on my recommendation.

SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8GB U3 Readyboost Flash Drive

from: SanDisk

August 21, 2007
Having a 4GB Cruzer c/w U3 software, I decided to also buy its 'bigger brother'.

Unfortunately on my Vista machine, the U3 software won't load; this means there is no way to safely "Eject" the drive. Simply removing the flash drive risks long-term damage to the drive & my data.

OK it stores reams of data, but if that data is at long-term risk, I cannot recommend this drive.

Pity, because the 4GB version + U3 software is superb in every way.

U3 works OK on my XP PC.

Olympus WS-110 Digital Voice Recorder

from: Olympus

August 21, 2007
I am the harshest critic I know. I am not easily please with electronics especially if they don't perform everything they're meant to do. This particular product exceeds my expectation and is the best on the matket. I have carried out extensive research and all was pointing to this one. Tip on if you're using this:

Buy a powerful battery; it will last.
Set the settings to low cut (reduces general noise level), HQ (high quality, although have to sacrifice space) and enable voice filter (lowers crowd level and concentrates on main speaker).
