Sony ECM-16?

[ryanwaggoner]

Hey all,
I bought a Sony ECM-16 Electret Condenser Lav Mic on ebay for like $7. It doesn't have a tie clip, though. Does anyone know where I might get one? It's about 1/2" in diameter, so I'm thinking I could probably just use another generic clip of the same size. Any recommendations? Does anyone have ANY experience with this mike? I don't usually do stuff like that, but it was so cheap, and I figured if it didn't work for me, I was only out $7 :-) Thanks!

The cheap Sony lavs aren't very good, but for $7--hey, why not, try it out. As for the clip, it's more expensive than the mic, but...

Yeah, I knew it probably wasn't very good, as lavs go. I'm thinking I'll get a Countryman EMW, but I like to have *something* as a backup for worst-case scenarios. Thanks for the link!

Hmmm...I think you've got a point, Oleg. Do you want to send me a check, or just Paypal me the money? ;)

Hello:

Regarding the Sony ECM16 microphone you purchased for $7, I'd like to buy as many of them as you can get. Please contact me immediately.

Thank you.
