Hi all, I'm passing this information on as a BrailleNote mPower user. HumanWare has no relationship with the company concerned.
There've been a few people interested in good microphones for the BrailleNote mPower. Recently I purchased a microphone from a small company called Giant Squid Audio lab. It's a gold plated microphone housed in a standard 3.5 mm plug. So what you get is a plug that goes into the microphone socket of your BrailleNote mPower, and the microphone is included in the actual plug. No wires to worry about or anything to hold. The quality of this little microphone is remarkable, the frequency response is superb. And it is omnidirectional, which means that it's ideal for recording sound in any direction anywhere in the room. I used this microphone as part of my most recent podcast and am delighted with the results. It only costs around US$19. There are other microphone products available as well.
