Polsen OLM-10 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone

The Polsen OLM-10 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is an all-in-one solution for recording hands-free audio to both channels of your camcorder or DSLR, as well as recording devices with a 3.5mm mic-level input that cannot supply phantom power. It is a self-powered clip-on electret condenser mic designed for accurate voice reproduction in home and video webcasting applications such as presentations, interviews, dictation, and corporate video. The microphone's small, 21-mm long lightweight body allows for discrete placement with the included tie-clip while its 20-foot long cable gives you ample distance from your recording device.

Featuring a 3.5mm dual-mono TRS output connector, the mic sends audio to both the left and right channels of your recorder. Thanks to its omnidirectional polar pattern, the OLM-10 provides a uniform response that will not cause the bass-boosting proximity effect common with cardioid patterns, while allowing you to move freely without off-axis rejection causing a drop in volume. The in-line power switch allows you to quickly mute the microphone as well as preserve battery life when not in use. A windscreen for reduced noise and plosives, 1/4" adapter, and LR44 battery are included.

Note:
Not intended for use with smartphone or tablet devices.

Olympus VN-541PC Reviews

Purpose designed for journalists, note takers, and writers

By Tony
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-24

The ergonomics of this recorder are perfect. Lightweight (carry in pocket), one button record (turn on with one finger, without looking at it), and unique (indentation for finger identifies it instantly in your pocket.). It's clear the designers talked to journalists and came up with the perfect design. I don't know why Olympus hasn't released an upgraded version with more memory and a better LED screen, and MP3 format recording. There are other recorders with more features, more memory, and better LED's but NONE of them is a useful as this little recorder. It uses an old audio format for recording, and needs a cable for transferring to computer, but these annoyances are minor for the convenience and functionality. Buy two, and thank me later.

Competent little recorder

This is a replacement for an identical unit that I have had for several years. I was a little too rough on the previous unit [in a pocket banging around with other hard objects] and damaged the record switch so it would record unexpectedly with the slightest touch of the switch which became an annoyance. My fault. I liked this unit so much that I replaced it with an identical unit. It is small, has lots of recording capability and it is simple to operate, just what I need. Recommended.
