Has anyone modified their mic to make it a little easier to hide?

The microphone already looks like a pen, so why would I want to modify it? Seriously, most people that I run into think its a pen.

Not quite. I had to turn the mic semsitivity down to keep the audio from booming when I talked.

Yes! It can be silenced. My husband did this, so I can't give you the step-by-step, but it comes with instructions and isn't too complicated.

No,however there are 16 little holes in the bottom over the mic and I have had no issues w/ the mic like people saying that the cannot hear me. As I indicated this is the best one yet!

Very good question. I don't believe it's that noticible with or without if you have a really good quality mic. However I have the 200 dollar blue yeti so I can say it does improve overall quality

Yes.... and it is real simple to install and to remove after use. Just get yourself a real heavy duty mic stand.Hope that helps!

It does effect the front mic. Covers it completely and mutes it to nearly unusable. I used a single hole punch to make a hole for it. Not ideal but it worked. I will say the customer service is great. I messed up the first sheet and the other one was damaged from a drop. They sent out replacements within a few days

For the most part, yes, if the others are speaking at, let's say, crowd level. One would have to cover the mic. That would be to cancel out the background speaking. The listener will hear voices, but not necessarily be able to understand what is being said.I hope that this was helpful.

Yes, well sorta. On the very top, slide the top cover off and you can either put a small boom mic, or a wireless mic. I have both. The wireless mic works great! I interviewed somebody where there was a lot of foot traffic, but with the wireless mic, I really picked up the interviewees voice. I can't really tell about the boom mic but I haven't put it through its paces.

Thanks for the reply! That is what I ended up doing after i wrote the initial post. It is much better without the ear loop!

The only button I had a hard time with was the silent switch. My main complaint was that 3 people told me that when I talked to them on the phone it was garbled and they couldn't understand me. Because of the waterproof foam that is blocking the mic.

no but during you're recording sessions it will cancel out background noise to the point where only your voice is heard

If you are talking about the Divot at the bottom lip of the case (Below the Back, Home, and Search Buttons) then yes, that so to not cover up the phone microphone. If you ask me it does look a tad cheesy but you need to have some trade offs for such a good case.

I had to take a knife to it and shave it down some more to fit. Also, it doesn't let Mic data pass through.

From experience- this would be helpful... however, you can use a "home made" method to silence the dreaded "P's " (pops). I typically turn the Mic sideways towards my mouth and it responds well.

As long as your mic cord has a 2.5mm plug. I'm guessing that you intend to tuck the device somewhere out of the way and run the mic cord into it and a set of ear plugs out of it. Just be advised that the Bellman is very efficient but not at all discriminate. It magnifies all sound equally. I've not tried it but I fear traffic noise could reprogram your brain...<Grin>
