Tonal Profile
Half-inch cardioid electret that clips onto a phone and plugs into its TRRS headset socket. Frequency range starts at 100 Hz, not 20: the low end is cut in the capsule rather than by a switch.
Gain Staging Advice
TRRS wiring puts the microphone on the fourth conductor. In a three-conductor TRS input - a camera, a recorder, most interfaces with a mini-jack - that conductor is the right channel, and the microphone reads as silence rather than as a quiet source. The published 140 dB SPL maximum is the highest in this batch and is why it survives being pointed at a concert.
What the datasheet actually says
Quoted verbatim from the manufacturer’s own page, with the date we checked it. We state what is printed, not what anyone intended by it.
«Sensitivity: -33.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (22.00mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz»
This row is quoted from the VideoMicro page, not the VideoMic Me page: the two products publish the same sensitivity, the same 22.00 mV, the same 20 dBA of self-noise and the same 140 dB SPL maximum, while differing in capsule size, address type, frequency range and connector. VideoMicro is marked discontinued; the numbers remain in place.
