The NATEC NMI-1352 is a clip-on wired lavalier microphone with a 3.5 mm connector designed for straightforward audio capture in interviews, presentations, vlogging and basic field recordings. With a sensitivity of -58 dB and frequency response from 50 to 16,000 Hz, the microphone provides clear voice reproduction across typical speech frequencies. Its 1.8 m cable and 20 g weight make it lightweight and easy to position on clothing for hands-free use.

Advantages

The compact design and clip mounting enable quick attachment to collars, lapels or shirts without specialized tools. Wired connection via a standard 3.5 mm plug ensures stable audio transmission without the need for batteries or pairing. The microphone’s sensitivity and frequency range are tuned for voice, reducing the need for extensive equalization in common recording scenarios. Low weight and a flexible cable support comfortable long-term wear during interviews, presentations or recording sessions.

How to use

Attach the microphone clip to clothing near the speaker’s mouth—typically on a lapel or collar—ensuring the capsule is unobstructed and pointing upwards. Plug the 3.5 mm connector into the device’s microphone or combined audio jack. Position the cable to avoid strain on the connector and to reduce handling noise. Test audio levels on your recording device or camera and adjust input gain to avoid clipping; speak at normal volume while monitoring if possible. After use, detach the clip gently and store the microphone with the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinks.

Recommendations

For consistent voice capture, place the microphone 15–25 cm from the mouth on the chest area or lapel and avoid direct contact with fabric that can produce rustling. When using with devices that lack a dedicated microphone input or require TRRS wiring, use a compatible adapter. Reduce wind noise by positioning the mic in a sheltered spot or using a small foam windscreen if available.
