mikroUši
mikroUši /mikrouʃɪ:/ is a pair of stereo-matched, high-quality omnidirectional electret microphones. Compared with regular built-in microphones supplied with many recorders, mikroUši have exceptionally low noise and high sensitivity, in addition to their tiny size (only 6.8mm in diameter). They are especially useful for recording delicate sounds and environments.
They work out of the box with any portable recorder with “Mic In” input providing plug-in power (Zoom, Tascam, Olympus…) as with DSLRs with mic inputs. If you don't have a recorder, we recommend Olympus (LS-5, LS-10, LS-11 and LS-100) and Sony (PCM-D50, PCM-D100) recorders as a best match for Uši. Here is a great list of independently measured recorders.
