Hello List,
For those of you who are looking for an inexpensive, good
quality microphone to use
with your MPower, I'm sending some information which may help
you. The first message below is
Jonathan Mosen's message from the Humanware archives, which
describes this little microphone,
and what he thinks about it's performance. The second message is
one that I received from
Mr. Darren Nemeth, owner of "Giant Squid Audio Lab" where the
microphone can be purchased.
I've spoken with a Humanware representative in the hopes that
Humanware will
take the initiative to make something like this available to us.
Meanwhile, for those of
you wanting a good quality microphone now, here's Jonathan's
message and Mr. Nemeth's
contact information.
1. Jonathan Mosen's message from the Humanware archives:
QUOTE:
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. 19.00.
UNQUOTE.
2. The message I received from Mr. Nemeth, in response to my
message
requesting information about ordering this microphone:
QUOTE:
Hello, Sammie,
Here is the mic he spoke of.

It can be ordered from my site using Paypal. I have no stores
anywhere. I make the
mics here at home.
