Can someone please tell me if this will work with Olympus pearlcorder J300. It has a plug in for mic/ear, not sure if it will work..

Hi Charles. Good question. While it should work with any recorder with a standard 3.5mm TRS (1/8" plug) mic input jack - which most digital and tape handheld recorders manufactured in the last 15 years have - when I checked the specs of the Olympus pearlcorder J300, it seems that its mic jack is a proprietary size and may be too small for a 3.5mm plug. You MAY end up needing an adapter of some sort, which could result in some signal loss (assuming you can find the right one)

Sorry, I don't really know but I'll bet it will work just fine. Mine has worked with both Sony and Sanyo products. But why not ask this directly at the Olympus site and make sure.

That won't work unless you can get clever about giving the mic power. Part of the hotshoe wiring includes the power to the mic as well as the audio outs to the camera. You'd be better off getting a different mic for that camera.

I bought that mic setup but the sound quality was not what I expected but not sure why. I got a camera mounted boom mike instead with a long wire to give me better quality and versatility. This recorder should work with any camera with an audio out jack. Happy Thanksgiving!

It's is compatible with any camera that has a mic input. You can get an adapter to go from 1/4" to 3.5mm if you need but it will work fine.

As long as the olympus has a microphone input, yes. This is just a 1/8" standard mic jack.

The connector doesn't fit. If you needed better audio you can use something like a Zoom H1 or some other professional recording device and slate your audio with video in post production. You can also try an adapter that fits the camera and mic. I don't know what kind of quality you will get.

I use mine with an E-PL5. I really doubt that Olympus made too many changes with the USB interface. However my combination works flawlessly. HTH

I think that J1 cameras does not have any external mic input, so no microphone will work with it. Anyway, I tested the mic and hasn't a good performance. My advice is that if you have the time and patience to edit and sync the audio and video, you should buy a good quality audio recorder and rec your audios separately.

I really can't answer that. I have an Olympus camera that has the USB mini connection port. If your camera has the mini port I am sure that it would work just fine.

This Mic. Does not connect thru hotshoe, only via 3.5 mm stereo pin (T/R/S) like those on headphones. If your camera accepts this connection then it should work for you.

There's no reason it wouldn't work with anything that has a mic input, but its designed to be handsfree with a hot shoe mount, so it might not be ideal. Really depends on what you're trying to shoot, but yes, it'll function!

Hi Harry, Sony ECMAW3 Wireless Mic should work on your camera if it has a microphone port. -Vincent

Look in the user guide and see if the mic jack is powered or not. If it's powered then it will work. If not then you will need a mic with an internal power supply.

its a standard mic, if your camcorder has an 1/8" jack input "like a headphone" jack or that on a computer, it should work.

I'm not familiar with that headset but if it terminates to an XLR then yes, this should take that and convert it to a plug that would fit in a 3.5mm mic port. I'm not sure if the cable would let you HEAR anything, but I've been using it to come out of a shotgun mic and into my camera and its worked great.

Actually, I bought the thing myself after no one replied, and it Indeed does not work with the TRS plug in a PC. The reason being, the microphone requires a voltage that can only come from an Olympus product. Building a phantom-power source for this mic is not practical nor feasible.After that ordeal, I bought the Audio-Technica ATR-35S Lavalier Microphone (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006I51V), and it works just fine, although a different Audio-Technica product would have been a better choice for me, their website has more products than Amazon. Hope this prevents more bad purchases,Kevin Actually, I bought the thing myself after no one replied, and it Indeed does not work with the TRS plug in a PC.

Hi M. Michael, the mic is only compatible for use with camcorders that has the Active Interface Shoe wherein you can connect the receiver of the device. Thanks_Mitch
