Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

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.

One figure, several models
«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.
