Polsen PL2 Overview

The Polsen PL-2O Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is a replacement microphone for the Polsen UWM-2 wireless system, and it's also compatible with Sennheiser transmitters. The PL-2O is a great choice for clear and accurate voice capture in quiet environments for vlogs, interviews, podcasts, and mobile journalism. With a simple twist, the 1/8" (3.5mm) TRS plug locks onto your transmitter's input jack and inhibits unintended disconnection while the 46" cable provides plenty of slack for freedom of movement.

By utilizing an omnidirectional polar pattern, the PL-2O is able to pick up sound from all sides of the mic, ensuring consistent speech capture even when you turn your head. Plus, it makes the mic more resistant to vocal plosives and wind noise. Discreet placement of the PL-2O is easy, thanks to its small 1/4" diameter and included tie clip.

Designed for Speech
The PL-2O features a tuned frequency response that's optimized to capture speech. Whether you're recording an interview, lecturing, vlogging, or creating a podcast, this lavalier captures voices with accuracy and clarity.
Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The omnidirectional polar pattern is ideal for video applications and allows for head movement without a decrease in volume when you turn away from the microphone. It also makes the microphone less susceptible to picking up wind noise and vocal plosives (pops).
46" Cable
The 46" mic cable gives you enough length move naturally and turn your head without concern for putting strain on the cable or accidentally tugging the connector out of the input jack.
Mini TRS Connector
The PL-2O is a replacement microphone for the UWM-2 wireless system. Its locking mini TRS connector is also compatible with Sennheiser wireless systems with 1/8" (3.5mm) input jacks.
Discreet Mic Placement
An included tie clip lets you discreetly place the microphone on your lapel, collar, tie, or elsewhere on your wardrobe.
Foam Windscreen
Don't let a little puff of wind interrupt your shoot. The foam windscreen minimizes noise from light breezes that can compromise your audio.

Polsen PL2 Reviews

Great Price, but noisy

By David
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-07

Production sound mixer since 2010. Pros: Cable seems durable. Plugs in and locks with no problem to my Sennheiser G3 Tx. Directionality is good. Cons: pretty noisy. The signal-to-noise ratio isn't good, so there's very much an audible white noise/hiss when set to gain appropriate for speech. What can you expect from a $20 mic? The mic clip also cannot rotate, so the mic can only be mounted perpendicular to the clip; not good if you need to clip onto a horizontal edge of clothing. Good to know: this is NOT a mic to use hidden. It's on the larger side and also the cable length is too short for rigging the Tx any lower than the waist. Would only recommend for presentation speech, unhidden, and that's IF you're ok with the noise.

Works fine

They work fine, but the pictures don't accurately convey how large the microphone is. The mic is much larger than the other mics in my stock and it better suited to interviews or lectures where hiding the mic isn't a priority. The price can't be beat though.

Is it compatible with Rode wirelless go II?
Asked by: Sanjin
This mic has a 3,5mm locking connector so it may not connect properly or securely to the input on a Rode Wireless GO II transmitter. It would be better to use a different mic that has a standard non-locking 3.5mm connector, such as the Polsen OLM-10 (B&H # POOLM10) or Polsen PL-4 (B&H # POPL4) to assure compatibility and prevent problems like having the mic accidentally disconnect or create noise from improper connection at the input.

Polsen cardioid is compatible with Zoom H4?
Asked by: Hayk
On its own, the Polsen Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sennheiser and Polsen UWM Transmitters is not compatible for direct connection to the Zoom H4n Pro, however, it can be used with an adapter to enable compatibility. The RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP) will attach to the locking 3,5mm connector on the Polsen mic and enable connection via XLR, as well as to convert phantom power (48V) from the H4n Pro to the proper amount of plug-in power fo the mic.
