The Power Pen-Mic is a specially engineered high-sensitivity covert microphone which looks like an ordinary pen in your pocket. When you place a tape recorder under your coat or in a pocket, you significantly reduce its microphone's ability to collect sound. But with the Power Pen-Mic, with its advanced 2-stage pre-amp and active audio booster circuit which increases sensitivity by 10 tunes over standard passive microphones, you obtain better quality audio than your recorder's microphone could get even under ideal conditions It makes concealed, high-performance voice recording simple. Even though your recorder is positioned in a secure remote location on your person, this sensitive microphone is right up in the conversation, clearly yet discreetly recording every word.

The Power Pen-Mic employs a super-sensitive tuned cavity pickup which enhances voice quality while reducing background noise. Its advanced low power circuitry provides approximately 500 hours of continuous use on one battery. It is powered by one 3 volt lithium coin cell battery (included), which is commonly available. It has a standard "mini" connector, making it compatible with most models of pocket recorders, just plug it into the recorder's jack marked "MIC" or "External Microphone". (NOTE: Olympus brand recorders require an inexpensive adapter plug, available from your local Radio Shack store.) If you have a need to discreetly record first-party conversations, this unit can be invaluable. But remember to carry a second pen in your shirt pocket though. Just in case they ask to borrow your pen!
