00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:17.160
this is the eye microphone no it doesn't go in your eye

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:21.119
it goes in your eye product so this is

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:23.920
compatible with um iPhones iPads and

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:28.519
iPods it performs it can make it so that they can perform double duty as a

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:34.360
powerful digital voice recorder so what the whoops sorry guys so so what this is

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:36.800
is an incredible High sensitivity 3.5 mm

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:41.239
four pole omnidirectional condenser microphone for the iPhone iPad and iPod

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:46.120
so pretty much you're replacing the crummy microphone that's built into your

00:00:43.239 --> 00:00:50.719
IE device with this one for better voice pickup so a great use for something like

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:53.399
this would be uh oh yeah look at that they've even got a listing if I was

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:58.320
going to say business meetings but they've got that on there ideal for voice recording for example lectures

00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:04.320
interviews and business meetings um so for example you've got uh Speak Easy has

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:07.400
software that allows you to convert

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:09.799
recorded voice messages into text so you

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:13.720
could use that or speak naturally speak easy dragon something okay whatever

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:17.840
someone who remembers what the piece of software is that takes uh your voice and

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:23.320
turns it into text please leave that in the comments that piece of software it's

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.400
cheap it's like five bucks for the iPod

00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:27.880
um would ideally be able to understand

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.759
your voice better and convert it to text more easily especially in the context of

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:36.799
a multivoice environment like a meeting or lecture or interview okay features

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:41.640
incredible High sensitivity RF shielding compact design and premium wind screen

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:44.920
is included okay uh specifications are here so you can feel free to pause and

00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:49.719
read that should you so desire don't take this out when it's too cold outside

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:53.719
and we've also got a list of the products it is designed for although I

00:01:51.360 --> 00:02:00.680
suspect it would work just fine in any microphone Jack so let's go ahead and

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:02.240
open this baby up

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.520
what I'll have to do for you guys is do a couple of audio recording

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:13.440
samples where I use the integrated microphone on my iPhone 4 versus the IM

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:18.959
microphone so there's the premium wind screen made of foam I screen the wind

00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:18.959
for

00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:27.000
you also works for that whatever that is

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:30.000
all right and this is the IM microphone

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:32.480
itself

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:38.080
so it has like a very solid feeling construction to it there's the

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.080
microphone

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:45.440
okay there's the Jack here's what it

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.440
looks like if you put the wind screen on

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.680
it oh it's like totally wearing an

00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:07.239
afro there we go that's on now put that in there now your iPhone

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:09.680
has an afro okay I'll do the audio samples in a minute don't forget to

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.920
subscribe to L's Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer

00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:20.159
videos so we tested from a distance of about 3et on the IM microphone and

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:23.519
besides um it being a lot louder with the IM microphone versus the integrated

00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:27.519
one the integrated microphone actually was more clear so it seems like we're

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:30.360
probably using it in the wrong application we were so close to it in a

00:03:29.239 --> 00:03:36.799
quiet enir maybe that's not what it's intended for so I figured what if I go further away

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:40.640
and do an audio test instead so the IM microphone is sitting there on the table

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.840
you can just point at it okay and I'm going to go over here

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:50.959
and I'm going to say something so this is testing the IM

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:57.120
microphone at a distance of however far away this

00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.040
is and this is testing oh okay he hadn't

00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.319
hit it yet and this is tting testing the

00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:08.040
integrated microphone from a distance of however far away I am right

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:13.200
now okay so I'm just going to show you guys the testing here so this is uh one

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:17.120
audio clip that has both the IM microphone and the integrated microphone

00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:21.759
from a greater distance in it go over here and I'm this is with the ey

00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:27.919
microphone so this is testing the ey microphone at a distance of for far away

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.919
this is

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:37.199
and this is testing the integrated microphone from a distance of however

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:40.400
far away I am right now so you can

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:43.120
clearly here that the integrated

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:47.639
microphone does not pick up as much sound as the IM microphone although what

00:04:46.039 --> 00:04:52.680
that does mean is it results in a slightly more clear sounding recording

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:56.639
but it's all a matter of what is your objective if your objective is to catch

00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:01.039
more of the Ambient sound overall more sound then yes the IM microphone is far

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:06.240
more sensitive in the integrated mic so if you do use your iPhone iPod iPad any

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:09.520
kind of IE device for a substantial amount of voice recording then something

00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:12.520
like this might not be a bad little pickup
